Currently when an element within application modeller is cut and pasted in any node of the Element tree, a new Element ID is generated, invalidating the previous Element ID and all references pointing towards it.

When that happens, the following error is displayed by the validation tool:
Page: ABC
Stage: XYZ
Type: Error
Action: Validate
Description: Failed to find referenced application element in row 1. Element ID is 87188755-42bf-4433-bcaf-33a4f152aeff
Repairable: No

The only way to fix this is to manually re-point the element within all the affected stage properties.

Additionally, this also invalidates the application modeller in all of the historical versions of the affected Object(s) in version history.

Given that this can potentially mean several hours of re-work, not to mention serious frustration, please change this to work as follows:

- When copying and pasting an element within Application Modeller and the pasted Element ID already exists, generate a new one
- When cutting and pasting an element within Application Modeller, retain the pasted one

This has been tested on the following versions:
6.4.2
6.4.4
6.8.0
