Moodle 2.8: duplicate quizzes and questions linked?

Moodle 2.8: duplicate quizzes and questions linked?

Hi,

A teacher has submitted an interesting problem to me. 

He duplicated a quiz that included two sets of 10 random questions pulled from two different question bank categories (say, Category 1 and Category 2).  Now, when he modifies categories included in the duplicated quiz (let's say he replaces Category 2 questions by Category 3 questions), categories in the initial quiz also changes - as if both quizzes are now linked.

Unless I am mistaken, I thought duplicates were copies, with no relation to the original versions.  Is this is by design or a bug?  Thanks.

Duplicates should be copies with no relation to the original.

This was reported a while ago by Eric Merrill (MDL-45851) and I really should have found time to fix it before now.
