Description
Expected behavior
After duplicating a message (that I use as a template) in the app you can add comments, as it is set in the general preferences. In the browser you see in the Menu at the right at "Discussion": Open (Openen in Dutch).
Actual behavior
After duplicating a message in the app the "Discussion" item is set back from Open to Ping only. And you can't change that in the app, I have to do it in my browser.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
In WordPress-app click on the three dots next to a new made message and press Duplicate (Dupliceren in Dutch), add text and "Save as concept" or "Publish" (no difference).
Tested on [device], iOS [version], Jetpack iOS / WordPress iOS [version]
WordPress site on Raspberry Pi 4, Bookworm, locally.
WordPress version 6.6.2; Theme TwentyTwentyOne
Tested on iPhone 11 and iPad-mini (6th generation) with WordPress-app as well as Jetpack.
iOS version 18 (both; but also on 17.7 (both))
WordPress iOS version 25.3(25.3.0.1)
JetPack iOS version 25.3
In april-may 2024 Duplicating in the app was working fine.
WordPress on Raspberry Pi must have been built 6.4.3 or 6.4.4 (as I look at the built history).
iOS app versions I don't know, can't find a built history. But should be up to date because I update apps at least once a week.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the WordPress iOS or Jetpack app using the reported duplicate-message steps, then trace the duplication flow and how the Discussion setting is copied. Compare the app result with the browser behavior and identify the relevant existing tests, if any. Done means a duplicated post retains the configured Open discussion setting and comments can be added in the app.
