I would like to be able to copy/paste locked content. When we create activities in a Lucid board, we often have to make several areas for users. In these areas, we usually lock down a lot of the elements so they aren't inadvertently moved. Currently locked content will not copy/paste so replicating these areas is very difficult.

Ditto. It’s such a simple and basic function without which Lucid has little advantage. Out of interest, how many upvotes does it need before it’s enabled?
I love the existing copy-paste without including locked content. That shouldn’t go anywhere. But it would still be useful to have the ability to copy-paste locked content. I found myself looking for a context menu item such as Copy→ Copy Special and/or Paste→ Paste Special, akin to copy-paste in Google Sheets where you can choose to paste the formula or the values. After not finding any way to accomplish this in that part of the context menu, I looked lower through the context menu and clicked into the “Copy or Move Content” expandable menu item. I tried copying to a different document that way but still it only copied the non-locked content.
I find myself needing to copy locked content just about as often as I copy non-locked content. I need both use cases to work efficiently. I usually use the workaround of unlock-copy-paste-lock (or undo), but I would expect a menu option to do this. Perhaps a keyboard shortcut like adding “shift” key to the copy/paste shortcuts as well. Thank you!
