Drag-Duplicating using Alt/Opt key does not work if key is pressed after dragging
InDesign 2020 OPTION Duplicate is now broken, just like Photoshop has always been.
Don't make me commit to the duplicate before moving an item.
Sometimes I'll move a box, then realize I intended to duplicate it, so then I'll press OPTION... now I have to commit to it FIRST.
Fix this and stop breaking things!

This issue has been fixed in the latest update of InDesign 2022 - version 17.3
Please update to this latest version of InDesign using Creative Cloud Desktop Application to get the fix.

CC 2020 has to be the buggiest update in recent years.

Command+Alt drag duplicate doesn't work in ID2020. Why break this short cut that, you know, I've only been using for about 10 YEARS? What's the reason? I know you can hold down Alt and then duplicate but there's a wait while the two arrows become one. It's a small thing but it's not intuitive and takes longer.
Please FIX THIS back to how it was! -

Since I updated to Indesign 2020 a few days ago, alt + drag to copy objects no longer works.

I have the same issue, when I am duplicating stuff on a layout. The issue I wrote about below is separate issue tho, in pages it's not the same issue.

Drag-duplicating an object with Alt key pressed does not duplicate, if moving on a separate page stopped working in Adobe Indesign 2020
