I have a weird issue with copying and pasting nodes and then editing the text in the fields within the node. For example, this is a picture of a copied and pasted node:
When changing a field within the node, it changes it in the copied and original nodes (see the word change):
This is very frustrating and I can’t figure out why this is happening. I looked at the actual code that creates the diagram and the new node has a different key:

Interestingly, If I refresh the page, it seems to resolve this issue so that I can interact with each node individually.
