Hi
In Sketch - Craft Plugin, The duplicate function doesn't seem to work with the Data plugin as shown in the manual and web materials.
1. I make a text layer and write a dummy text "Name"
2. I select the layer and open the Data plugin
3. I click on the Data plugin "Custom > Type > Names"
4. I select "Male"
5. The layer's "Name" changes to randomly generated name "Vincent Allison"
6. While the layer is selected, I click "Duplicate Content"
7. I check "Vertical" - the "Duplicate Content button" gets "Active" ie. Lights blue
8. I change the "1" to "3" - nothing happens
9. I click "Duplicate Content"
10. A group is created with three same layers with "Vincent Allison" and a masked "Duplicate control" layer with Path inside
This doesn't work with any type of data, image or JSON data.

Hi Piotr,
It appears as if you are experiencing an issue that our Product and Engineering teams are aware of where duplicated text fields inside of symbols using Craft Data sometimes have repeated values, rather than having different values. To confirm that this is the issue you are experiencing, I will need to collect some information for our Support and Engineering teams to investigate. Can you please provide the following information?:
1. The version of Craft Manager you are running.
2. A screenshot of your Craft plugin versions.
3. A screenshot of your "About this Mac" overview.
4. The version of Sketch you are using.
Once I have this information, we will be able to investigate what's causing this issue a bit more.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Shaina
I currently meet the same problems: duplicated items keep the same data as the first item.
Hi Shaina
The plugins versions are the same as Nicolas. They do not appear at once so I need to hover to see them.
Hi Nicolas and Piotr,
Thank you both for taking the time to provide that information! Since you are both on the most up to date versions of all software, I would like for our Support team to do some further troubleshooting with each of you.
I will open tickets on each of your behalf with our Support team. Please look for a message soon from them request additional information.
Hope to get you some answers soon!
Thanks for your patience,
Shaina
Hi Shaina,
Sorry I've been out for a while so I couldn't answer the linked request before it has been closed.
I would like to thank you all (you, Rico, Anisah, John and Khoa) for having quickly take my issue on consideration and resolve it!
I could at last update Craft (1.0.76) and test the correction on my Sketch project. Unfortunately I can observe that the problem still persists.
I've tried to duplicate a symbol containing two texts that I override with two different Craft data sets: one that I've created (2-digits number list from 01 to 99) and one that is the default "cities" set.
So when I duplicate this symbol I can note that only the text overridden by my 2-digit data set changes.
Nicolas.

Just to add to the conversation.
I put in a couple support tickets several months ago regarding the loss of inter-functionality between Craft's Data plugin, and Duplicate plugin. They no longer work together as advertised in InVision marketing material. So far I've reached out again a couple times, but the team has not been able to commit to any solid plan to fix this.
I really do hope it gets fixed at some point soon.
Thanks for helping shed some light on this for others in this thread, Andrew. I appreciate you taking the time to reach out to our Support team to investigate this issue for you.
We’re constantly working on improvements, and we greatly value opinions like yours. Part of my job is to take important threads from Community to meetings with relevant Product Managers to discuss the struggles our customers are having. I will be sure to raise your concerns and request in my next meeting with this Product Manager.
Hi Shaina I am having the same issue as the other folks, so I am sharing with you the requested screenshots to further troubleshoot/investigate the issue, if possible.
1. Craft's manager version
2. Craft's plugin versions/Craft's tools
3. "About this Mac" overview
4. Sketch's version I am using
