For me, "cloning" is pretty straightforward as a term whereas "copy from
a friend" is only _one_ possible scenario. It might thus lead to
misunderstandings to use this terminology in general.
Wouldn't it be possible to call the action itself "clone" and to have a
desription in the web assistant which describes this one possible
scenario instead? Like a sort of subtext?
Cheers
