Public bug reported:

HI All,

When copying a collection the collection is listed as many times as the number of pages.
This results in confusion for staff and students and is hard to write instructions for.
For example: Search for collection X and copy it.
Click the "copy collection" button for any of the items in the list that are called X, any page of Collection X will do. Ignore any results where collections are called other things. Collection names are on the left and page names are to the right of them.


It would be great if when copying collections the collection is shown
only once, regardless of how many pages it contains, since this doesn't
really matter.

Another idea for discussion: In the case of copying templates,
complexity could be reduced further by eliminating the step where you
can add other pages, since the template already has the necessary pages.

Thanks,
Shane.
