Purpose

Closes #2850
Duplicating a document renamed it to "Copy of <title>", and did the same to
every one of its descendants. This had two drawbacks:

  • a title starting with an emoji, used as the document icon, lost its icon
    since the emoji was no longer first ("Copy of 🚀 Roadmap");
  • duplicating a document with its subdocuments prefixed every title of the
    subtree, cluttering the copied tree although only its top is a new document
    from the user's point of view.

Proposal

  • Mark only the top duplicate as a copy, with " (copy)" at the end of its
    title, so that a leading emoji stays first: "🚀 Roadmap (copy)"
  • Give an untitled document the title "Untitled document (copy)"
  • Keep the titles of the duplicated descendants untouched, untitled ones
    included
  • Update the backend and e2e tests, add tests for emoji, empty and missing
    titles and for the descendants

Note: the translatable string changes from copy of {title} to
{title} (copy) and Untitled document (copy), so the existing translations
will need to be redone on Crowdin.

Walkthrough

Top-level duplicated documents now receive a trailing “(copy)” marker. Empty titles use “Untitled document (copy),” and long titles are truncated to retain the marker within the title limit. Descendant titles remain unchanged. Backend and end-to-end tests cover these title rules, and the changelog records the change.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: antolc

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0f36d

Duplicated documents receive the requested trailing marker, but the new end-to-end check can pass a title with an unwanted prefix. Tighten the assertion so this test can catch regressions; the remaining risk is bounded to test coverage.

Pre-merge checks: Passed 5
Check name Status Explanation
Title check Passed The title clearly identifies the main change: only the top duplicate receives a copy marker appended after its title.
Description check Passed The description accurately explains the duplication behavior change, affected titles, descendant handling, tests, and translation impact.

Out of Scope Changes check Passed The changes stay within issue #2850. The backend change implements the requested naming behavior. Backend and end-to-end test updates verify the behavior. The verifyDocName escaping change supports …
Docstring Coverage Passed Docstring coverage is 100.00% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 16 functions across 5 files.
Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The changes satisfy issue #2850. Backend duplication marks only the top duplicate, appends (copy), uses Untitled document (copy) for empty titles, truncates long titles before the marker, and preserves descendant titles. Backend tests cover titled, emoji-prefixed, empty, missing, long, descendant, and nested cases. End-to-end tests cover duplication with and without subdocuments.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #2850. The backend change implements the requested naming behavior. Backend and end-to-end test updates verify the behavior. The verifyDocName escaping change supports literal assertions for titles containing parentheses. The changelog entry documents the user-visible fix. No unrelated changes are shown.

There is a constraint on the model, the title max length is 255.
We didn't check it before.
We should do it here I think and if the new title length is higher than 255 we should fallback to the original title without the suffix.

We prefer an other behavior.
We would like to truncate the title and add (copy) at the end.

Exemple:

Title to long to keep -> Title to long t... (copy)

Fixed in 0f36db7: if adding " (copy)" would push the title past 255 characters, the original title now gets cut with "..." so the copy marker still fits, like Title to long t... (copy). I also added a few tests around the 255-character boundary.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Require an exact title match in the grid assertion.

verifyDocName and getGridRow use substring matching. A title such as Copy of <source title> (copy) can therefore pass those checks. Add an exact match to detect the forbidden prefix.

Suggested fix
-    await expect(row.getByText(duplicateTitle)).toBeVisible();
+    await expect(row.getByText(duplicateTitle, { exact: true })).toBeVisible();

Can you rebase your branch to trigger the CI to chack if e2e tests have to be updated ?

Duplicating a document prefixed "Copy of" to the title of every duplicated
document, descendants included. The prefix pushed a leading emoji, used as
the document icon, out of first position, and cluttered the whole subtree.
Only the top duplicate is now marked, with " (copy)" at the end of its
title; descendants keep their title untouched.

The title of a document is limited to 255 characters, but marking the
top duplicate as a copy appended " (copy)" to its title without checking
this limit, so duplicating a document with a long title could exceed it.

The original title is now truncated, with an ellipsis, so that the title
of the copy fits within the limit and keeps its copy marker.

@lunika I rebased onto main as requested, but the CI workflows are waiting for maintainer approval (first-time contributor from a fork). Could you approve the run so the e2e tests can execute?
