The problem is that cloning a column that contains different elements and then trying to modify them does not make the change

Now, the problem seems to be solved if at the end of the clone component I use a wait, however I have seen in other projects that do not have this included and they still work

You need to wait a fraction of a second to give time to the `cloned` component to exist.
