Public bug reported:

Feature idea from ePortfolio workshop:

Make templates do soft copies (by default?), saving a link to the
original content rather than actually copying it. Updates to the
original template could then be automatically reflected in copies. When
a user edits their copy, the soft link is broken so that updates to the
template don't overwrite the modified content.

Soft copies would also reduce the cost in time and disk usage of
creating a copy.
