If the environments field is left blank, Mitosis will create duplicates from the spreadsheet in any environment. If a value is entered in that field, what happens?

• A. Duplicates will be created in all environments.
• B. Duplicates will only be created in the listed environment, and not in others.
• C. Duplicates will be prevented in all environments.
• D. Duplicates will be created in the listed environment and one additional environment.

Answer: (B)

The environments field acts as a scope control for where duplication is applied. When you leave it blank, the system treats the operation as global and will create duplicates in every environment. When you enter a specific environment, the duplication is restricted to that chosen environment only, so no duplicates appear in other environments. This is why the correct behavior is that duplicates will be created only in the listed environment.

Think of it like choosing where to apply a copy: if you don’t specify a location, the copy goes everywhere; if you specify a location, the copy stays there. The other options would require the system to either apply globally despite a specified environment, prevent all duplication, or extend the action to extra environments, none of which matches how the field is described to function.
