Tests:

Get copy using Object.assign
const newVersion = Object.assign({}, original ?? {});
Get copy using spread
const newVersion = { ...(original ?? {}) };
Get copy using structuredClone
const newVersion = structuredClone(original ?? {});
Copy manually using for loop
const newVersion = {}; const keys = Object.keys(original ?? {}); const len = keys.length; for (let i = 0; i < len; i++) { newVersion[keys[i]] = original[keys[i]]; }
Copy using JSON.stringify
const newVersion = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(original ?? {}));
