User Story:

As a portal admin, I would like to duplicate a workflow, so I can have a backup copy.

DOD:

1. Consider different actions for Published and Not Published workflows:
   • Published: Edit, Duplicate, Permissions, Unpublish;
   • Not Published: Edit, Duplicate, Permissions, Delete;
2. Validate the workflow name when duplicating, editing or creating a new definition, so there is no workflow with the same name;
3. When duplicating a workflow, place the name "Copy of" before the workflow name by default;
4. Validate if the user made changes to the workflow and ask if he wants to save before leaving;
