When adding new variant, edits also affect the original

When I add a new variant to a collection form a variant that already exists in that collection (either by copy/paste or the plus button form hovering over an existing variant), edits made to the new variant propagate back to the original.

How I stop this from happening?

Hello @John17 Does this happen only with your text or other elements in your component as well?

It also happens with showing/hiding layers too.

Ok, it happens for items that are expose through properties. In this case I had set the excerpt as a content property.

umm…so it seems you’ve managed to locate the issue :slight_smile:
