No longer able to copy or delete the User Settings View
We had erroneously included Duplicate and Delete buttons for a User Settings view in the improved and legacy editors.
Copying the User Settings view doesn't make sense as it doesn't actually create a new view, it just creates an extra copy of the same Users Settings view in the app (causing an error). For this reason, the Duplicate button has been removed from both the improved (preview) and legacy editors.
Deleting the User Settings view has no effect. If you delete the User Settings view, it gets recreated when you save. For that reason, the Delete button is removed from the improved editor.
The Delete button is still available for the User Settings view in the legacy editor in case you erroneously copied the Users Settings view using the Duplicate button and your app is now in an erroneous state. In this case, you switch to the legacy editor and delete the extra User Setting view.
