E-Studio provides the ability for the user to choose a deep or shallow copy. If pasting an object with children from the same E-Studio instance (and the root object conflicts with an existing object), the following message box appears:

A deep or shallow paste occurs depending on whether "Yes" or "No" is selecting to the prompt. Selecting "Yes" renames child objects with a numerical suffix. Selecting "No" pastes the exact child objects that were copied. In all other cases (pasting an object from a different E-Studio instance, etc.), a deep paste is performed.
