Clicking the Copy link button instantly breaks the inheritance of the file or folder
Hi all, This is something that needs sorting out. The scenario is, I want to copy a "People with existing access link", using the Copy link button in the ribbon of a modern document library. ...

MicrosoftThanks for tagging me ChrisWebbTech !
Andrew Silcock, when you click "copy link", what type of link is being copied? If your default link is a link that works for anyone or a link that only works for people in your organization, then copy link will always break inheritance immediately.
If your default links is a link that only works for specific people, copy link will default to a people with existing access link and will not break inheritance. I just tried this again myself and saw this behavior so if you are seeing something different, please let me know!
And about people with existing access as a default, I don't have anything to share... yet. ;)

So desperately need that for copy link. Hopefully there is a separate option for sharing and copy.
The ideal setup IMO
Sharing - specific people default
Copy - Existing access
The ideal setup IMO
Sharing - specific people default
Copy - Existing access

ChrisWebbTech, if you set the default link to specific people, this should be the behavior you get. Are you seeing something different?
