- # 42745
Steps to reproduce the issue
1 I have opened an menu item, Menu Item Type: Author Listings;
2 I have made changes at Title and alias
3 I have made changes into Author Settings tab - Changed the usergroup
3 I have used the "save as a copy" button
4 I have published the new menu item
Expected result
To have a new menu element with his own functionality
Actual result
In frontend a new menu item appears with the new Title but with the same alias as the parent has! The functionality of the new menu item is exactly the same as the item original parent. Basically is 1:1 duplicate of the initial menu item with no changes into alias, page title, etc. The only change is at the displayed menu item name. I get another menu item named differently but is working like an Menu Item Alias.
System information (as much as possible)

Additional comments
I will try to use "save as copy" with different menu item Types.
If the new menu items will act like a menu aliases as well then i will update this.

The creation of a new Menu Item Type: Author Listings have the same buggy functionality. Instead of having it own alias and group filter functionality, is like an alias of the first existing Menu Item Type: Author Listings from the main menu.
Further order change on the menu items order confirms:
The all following Menu Item Type: Author Listings from a menu are having the functionality of the first element, as it is saved in joomla order. Is impossible to create multiple Menu Item Type: Author Listings since all of those are acting as the first one redirect.

That menu type is not part of the core joomla install - it must be from an extension you have installed and you should seek support from the developer of that extension
Ups. My bad!
I have used the JA Purity IV - Joomla 5 package.
I will check with them.

Closing as not a core issue.

I have used the same procedure for an Category Blog type menu element. The result is the one expected: a new menu item with a different category blog is displayed. The alias is as well changed, everything is normal.
It seems that Author listing meny type is the culprit.
