Duplicating an item immediately shows a message about duplicates
Hi
In one of your recent updates, it seems that you now show a message on an item when it has duplicates. Which makes sense.
But it doesn't make sense after you've just created a duplicate :-)...

Sure, I'm happy to clarify.
When I duplicate an item, it is in 100% of the cases because I want to modify the item right after duplicating it to modify the information in the item.
So having a banner appear right after duplicating saying "Avoid confusion by deleting duplicates" goes agains my intent as a user. I just created the duplicate for a purpose :-) And I'm more confused by being asked if I want to delete it in this case.
So I would suggest that you don't show this banner right after duplication. But if I navigate away from the item and then select it again later, then by all means show the banner.
I know it's not important in the big scheme of things and that such a fix makes your code a bit more complicated to maintain. But I still think it's worth for your team to consider.
