There should be a native way to clone individual components on Content Page page types, similar to the cloning functionality that existed for CCT components on Standard Pages.
I understand that components on Content Pages do not have their own standalone asset IDs. However, if this could be implemented through the use of shadow child assets, it would help restore a workflow that previously provided significant efficiency gains. Ideally, these shadow child assets would be visible and selectable within the asset tree, allowing users to right-click and clone or move components to another page or duplicate them on the same page.
This would effectively replicate the component reuse capabilities available on Standard Pages and would greatly improve content authoring efficiency.
Today, if I want to create five variations of the same component on a Content Page, I must manually create each component and repopulate all fields from scratch. On a Standard Page, I could create the component once, clone it four times, and then make only the incremental changes required for each variation. The current workflow introduces significant repetitive effort and makes experimentation, content testing, and reuse much less efficient.
