[QGIS-Developer] Concerns re UX of new "duplicate features" actions in 2.99

[David Signer]

Hi Nyall  
  
It's okay for me, when you merge it to be save and we remove it, when the issue is resolved.  
  
But I'll remove the part that the duplicate functions toggles the edit mode anyway.   
So in case there will be still the action to duplicate on a not editable layer somewhere (what it shouldn't) it won't damage the layer.  
  
Thanks and regards  
Dave
