@kamranahmedse could this be n intended behaviour or is it a bug ?

If it is intended, it should be optional ("clear content on copy yes|no") in my opinion.

The reason we'd like to create a custom version from an existing map is to change details without having to build the whole content up from scratch. For us, "copy content: yes" would be the better (only) option.

@ibraheemalayan this is intended behavior. The reason is we have two different ways of making roadmaps - our official roadmaps are built manually with balsamiq and content is added through markdown files while the editor is all in database.

We are working on migrating the official roadmaps to use the editor as well. Once that is done, all the roadmaps will be editable and be able to let you fork the roadmaps as well.
