It is inconsistent with the other mentioned, not sure it is a bug though.

Workaround for making real copies of the nodegroups:

  • Outliner > Blender File view > Node Groups > copy / paste

Scene and View Layers also use this icon, but use submenu: New, Copy Settings, etc.

Already tried.
Direct copy-paste have a bug.
Copying from Blender file structure creates grouped node instead tree. And ungrouping will ruin input and output

So, actually no workaround, that will give exact same result.

Hi, I have a working fix for this, but I have a question about how it should be implemented. I was wondering if I should implement a new operator that copies the active tree in the geometry nodes modifier, and keep the old NewGeometryNodeTreeAssign. Then assign the new operator to the relevant button, or if I should just change the functionality of NewGeometryNodeTreeAssign to copy the active tree if it exists?
