Hi Thon,

Thanks for reporting this. I see what the problem is here at least for the clone duplication, and I've committed a fix in 6833:e8e361707865 that will affect all workflows going forward.

Unfortunately, there isn't a complete solution for fixing the extra tags. The problem was that any time you cloned a workflow, the mapping that retrieved the set of tags that should have been copied was actually returning *all* of the user's tags. That means that even if the source workflow had no tags, all workflow tags owned by the user would get copied to the newly created workflow. Because of this, just removing duplicate tags (while an obvious step in the right direction) won't be enough and you'll still have tags where they shouldn't be. I'll add the duplicate removal code as a migration, but in the short term if there are a few individual workflows that you need to fix (by simply removing all tags) the easiest thing to do on your end would be to manually remove the stored_workflow_tag_associations for those particular workflows, using something like this sql statement:

delete from stored_workflow_tag_associations where stored_workflow_id = '<enter stored_workflow id to fix>'
