Duplicate a component within the library

Creates a copy of an existing library component including all nested data (items, questions, todos, test cases, and conditions). The duplicated component is automatically named with “(Copy)” suffix and placed immediately after the original component in the sort order. Condition references are automatically updated to point to the new duplicated items. Recalculates conditions and timeframes. Only library components (projectId is null) can be duplicated through this endpoint.
