The entry action is automatically opened in the ST editor. The step element contains an E in the lower left corner.

Prompt for selecting the duplication mode
Options:
Copy reference: A new step calls the same actions: If the step is copied in SFC, then the link to the step action(s) is also copied. The steps copied from one another will therefore all call the same actions.
Copy implementation: New action objects are created for a new step: This means that the step actions for the copied steps are embedded. By default, the newly generated action objects are displayed below the SFC POU in the device tree or in the POUs view. These objects initially contain a copy of the original implementation code of the respective action.
The display of the embedded objects can be enabled or disabled in the tree by means of the Show Embedded Objects or Hide Embedded Objects commands in the context menu of an SFC object.
