When using actions like copy, duplicate, import, ect. metadata should be removed or reset to reflect the actual state of the target node, not the source.

Metadata such as activation status and modification status should be removed. The target node should be treated like a new node.

Consider introducing new metadata like mgnl:copiedFrom or mgnl:duplicatedFrom to help track the history of a node. From a support perspective, it's getting really hard to understand what users are doing to end up in these obscure corner cases.
