Description

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

When

  1. a node property is set
  2. the set property is removed from the node type declaration
  3. the node is copied

the CreateNodeAggregateWithNode fails with PropertyCannotBeSet (see ConstraintChecks::requireNodeTypeToDeclareProperty)

Expected Behavior

This makes sense to keep the CR state as consistent as possible, but the NodeDuplicationService should filter the properties to be set first.

Steps To Reproduce

No response

Environment

- Flow: 9.0.4
- Neos: 9.0.7
- PHP: 8.2

Anything else?
