Sebastian Parborg (zeddb) lowered the priority of this task from 90 to 50.

Fix for this is incoming, however please note that this 'make single user' on objects is now a bit misleading, since if an object is linked into several collections in a same view layer, you'll still have several users of the new object, as that 'make single user' is applied on a whole view layer… @Brecht Van Lommel (brecht), @William Reynish (billreynish), @Pablo Vazquez (pablovazquez) I think that is expected behavior, but naming is then a bit confusing (since it's a generic name/tooltip used for all ID templates...)?
