Katalyst: Error when cloning experiments with existing KAT ID

When attempting to create a copy of an existing experiment using the Copy Current/Clone action, a server-side error may occur if the experiment already has an assigned KAT ID. The error is typically reported as a NullPointerException in the cloning process.

The recommended method for creating a new experiment from an existing one is to use the Save As feature, which is designed to create a new experiment while preserving the contents of the original.

Experiments that already have a KAT ID should not be duplicated using the Copy Current/Clone action.

To create a copy of an existing experiment:

1. Open the experiment you want to use as a template.
2. Click Save As.
3. Enter a new experiment name and any other required information.
4. Save the experiment.

A new experiment will be created based on the original experiment without triggering the cloning error.

Note: The Copy Current (Clone) functionality is not intended for experiments that already have a KAT ID and may be removed in a future release. To avoid this issue, use Save As when creating copies of existing experiments.
