This custom Input component is applied to a field of type array
and allows you to remove one or more actions from the context menu for each array member.
When or why would I want to remove actions from the context menu?
When duplicating an array item which has a reference to another document, the duplicate array item will keep the reference to the same referenced entity as the original array item.
Thus, if the referenced entity is edited through the duplicate array item, the changes to the referenced entity apply to both the original array item and the duplicate.
To avoid making unwanted changes to the referenced content, it can be smart to remove the action for duplicate, to avoid unwanted changes and add a custom button to the end of the item component, which will clone the referenced document and create a new array item referencing the clone.
