[Question] Rebalancing One Duplicated Project Affects Other Duplicates

Community Help
1

Hi, I’m encountering an unexpected issue while working with multiple duplicated projects in Roboflow.

I duplicated an original Object Detection project several times using the “Duplicate Project” feature. Then, I modified labels slightly in each of the cloned projects.

However, after applying Rebalance Dataset to only one of the duplicated projects, it seems that the image splits (train/valid/test) in the other duplicate projects also changed — as if they are still somehow linked.ㅅ

This leads me to the following questions:

  1. Does “Duplicate Project” create a fully independent copy, or are images/labels still linked behind the scenes?
  2. Is the train/valid/test split configuration shared or copied at the time of duplication?
  3. Could applying Rebalance Dataset in one project unintentionally affect other duplicated projects?
  4. What’s the correct way to ensure duplicated projects are completely isolated?

I would really appreciate any clarification or if anyone has experienced similar behavior. Thank you!
