If you clone a widget that uses the Angular ng-template, you must manually clone the template and change the name of the template reference in the widget.

For example, the header menu widget uses the Angular ng-template menuTemplate. If you clone the header menu widget, you must also clone the menuTemplate and give the clone a unique name. When you open the clone of the header menu widget, you can see a reference to the menuTemplate in the HTML.
