Unable to duplicate images on ipad

For some reason I can't either copy an image, or import it again into my library. This makes it quite annoying when I'd like to have an image in my library with different edits applied simultaneously.

True, in mobile versions of Lr you cannot import two files that are one file that has been duplicated.

You can however have an image in the library with different edits applied by creating and using 'Versions' for the one imported photo. (a color, a monochrome, etc).

(I assume this applies to iPad Lr as I can see Versions in my iPhone.)
