You should be very careful in naming objects with a numeric designation, as

and look for the 28th field (this can happen if you were to pass the name of
the field as a parameter to a function, for example). I know it

Sarah,
The only reason you get copy of stack is because you don't have a label
set for your stack. If you set the label of the stack, when you clone it,
the cloned copy immediately has the label of the stack it was cloned from.
So it sounds like your stack is *named* Original, but the label is
