Cannot export a duplicated and edited component

On a components page, I had an exported component. I had to make another version of it, so I duplicated it. Then I renamed it.

No matter what I did later, I was unable to export that component anymore. Apart from renaming, I tried clearing all caches, clearing the export button and saving, all kinds of stuff. I had to recreate the entire component from scratch to be able to export it.

I guess I had to uncheck the Export component checkbox, duplicate it and then re-check it, but this seems like a common thing users might do.

Thanks!

I have an idea of what happened. I know you changed the component, but I think changing _c_id in dev tools would have prevented the ID conflict. I do see we capture these errors, but I don’t think we actually display them in-app. How did you duplicate your component? When I duplicate in the document list it actually removes the ID entirely.
