\*\*AI field duplication ignores text output type when copying data
self hosted 2.3.3\*\*
An AI field configured with **text output** may retain select options from an earlier configuration. When duplicated with **Copy existing data** enabled, Baserow attempts to remap select-option IDs against text values, causing the following error (visible in the docker logs):
```auto
operator does not exist: text = integer
```
However, in the frontend/UI this is shown as "Action not completed.
The action couldn’t be completed because an unknown error has occurred."
\*\*
Expected:\*\* Data duplication respects the current output type and copies text values directly, regardless of retained select options.

can you also share a couple things?

2- The logs from your docker
