Duplicate Lumetri Instance on Paste Attributes

[MisterAdvent]

Steps to reproduce:
Say you have two clips you need to color grade, and you don't really want to do an adjustment layer.

1. You adjust the first clip to taste

2. Copy the clip

3. Select the 2nd clip

4. Paste Attributes>Lumetri. This adds the Lumetri effect to the 2nd clip.

5. You decide you don't like what you did so you go back and edit Lumetri in clip 1.

6. Copy the clip

7. Select 2nd clip and paste Attributes>Lumetri

Result: There are now TWO instances of Lumetri in Clip 2. As a result the colors don't match until you delete the first instance.

Feature request: In Paste Attributes, add a switch to UPDATE or OVERWRITE existing effects. (That's how it works to paste scaling or positioning.)

I have fallen foul of this quite a few times.  I'm not sure if this is the only effect that this happens to but I think there should always be an option to replace existing effects if they already exist.

@MisterAdvent,

Scale and position etc are part of the intrinsic transforms (Video/Vector/Text). You cannot add 2 of them. That's one reason the Transform effect is so popular.

But all other Effects have this characteristic: you can add more than one of them. And sometimes that is done on purpose. I think the toggle to be considered would be Replace (delete previous, add the new one with its preset parameters) vs Add New Effect.
