Research direction
Look at the current workflow operations UI code, likely in Backbone views (e.g., 'apps/files/js/operation.js' or similar). Identify where operations are listed and how they are rendered. Add a 'duplicate' button next to existing operations that clones the operation object and adds it to the list. Refer to comments in issue #722 for any maintainer input.
