## Objective
Verify a saved duplicated form is fully independent of the original.

## Preconditions
- See [[PRE-DF-form-exists]]
- And a duplicated form has been opened and modified

## Steps
1. Save the duplicated form

## Expected Result
- Then the duplicated form has a new Form ID
- And it starts at Version 1
- And changes to it do not affect the original form
- And the redirect after save opens the edit page of the new form (not the original)

## Source Traceability
- TSD: PK141
- Section: C4 - Duplicate Form
- Scenario: C4.2 - Duplicated form is a new independent entity
- Acceptance Criteria: PRD C.15 Scenario 1-7

## Evidence Required
- Form ID + version of duplicate; original unchanged.

## Notes / Gaps
- Default name carries a "(copy)" indicator (asserted in DFMOD-C4-POS-003).
