(Get the code!)
"In the nightly, one cannot edit the Value field at all."
Not in the Field Properties dialog (and this also applies to 4.07), but as noted by double clicking the symbol name in the edit window next to the actual graphic drawing or pressing 'e' with mouse above it (when symbol is selected for editing). The change to "symbol" was more recent. The dialog that comes up is still called "Component Name" - should be "Symbol Name" (Version: (2018-01-02 revision 44d4559f8)). Also as noted it does not create a copy any longer by design.
I agree that it would be very useful if one were prompted for name change on paste, and I think I would prefer that it then removed the names of possible aliases instead of renaming them, as the names of aliases usually become invalid anyway.
The documentation (checked the master not the stable) is still lagging behind regarding use of designation "symbol" instead of "component" and how the library editor works, but that is expected in this transition.
