Duplicating Artboard will unlock and show locked and hidden elements.
When using the Artboard Tool and clicking on a + sign next to an artboard while holding the Alt/Option key to duplicate an artboard with its contents, Illustrator will Show and Unlock all hidden and locked objects/layers.
It does this only the first time, when using Undo and trying again it works correct.

The fix is pushed into the latest Prerelease build and is scheduled to get shipped into the next general build

Good to hear that Akshaya.

Issue acknowledged. We are working on fixing this. Plan to roll out the fix in next Beta / Pre Release build.

Indeed, Ton! Enabling 'Move Locked and Hidden Artwork with Artboard' does cause the bug for me.

Could be Mac specific, that's what we are using. But did you check in Preferences "Move Locked and Hidden Artwork with Artboard" ?

I can’t reproduce it at all, neither in 29.7.1 or Beta 29.9.0.6 — but I’m on Windows.
Can be OS-specific? Richard, you were using Intel Mac OS X 10.15.7, correct? -
