Description

The Clone From in the start of Creating A New Workflow does not completely clone, there are still references to the original copy.

This is repeatable.

1. Create New Workflow, "Test1"
2. Clone from Simple Publication Workflow.
3. Go to Transitions, go to Pending Review.
4. Add Action, Send Email.
5. Create another New Workflow, "Test2"
6. Again, Clone from Simple Publication Workflow.
7. Go to Transitions, go to Pending Review.
8. Action is there.
9. Delete that Action in "Test2"
10. Go to "Test1" that action is gone.

From what I can tell the Clone still has references to the original copy. Also if you remove the Action from "Test2" workflow, it will be removed in "Test1" as well.
