Resolve issues relating to quantum entangled action buttons in PAfE

Currently if I have an Excel sheet with action buttons on and I duplicate the sheet into the same workbook then to all visible cues we end up with two action buttons (AB).  I can see two action buttons, one on each sheet and I can see them listed separately in the Task Pane.

In reality the two buttons are entangled with each other.  Changes to button 2 are also applied to button 1, this leads to significant confusion and lack of clarity to the developer about what is taking place.  We should never be in the situation where an explicit change to one object leads to a different object being changed.

This has been raised as a defect, however it has been decided that copying sheets with action buttons on is not a supported gesture.

The level of brokeness and confusion with this is so high that we need some action in this space to prevent such an obvious defect causing users to go in an endless loop of fixing action buttons that impact a different action button that they just fixed.

So if we are not going to fix this, which would be the preferred option, then can we make it obvious that the gesture is not supported? 

A.  Pop-up when trying to copy a sheet with ABs on them.

B.  Alert when trying to edit an entangled AB.

C. Clearance of ABs when duplicating sheet

Interestingly if you copy to a New Book then the ABs are not entangled, if you then move the sheet back to the original book then the ABs become entangled again.
