Hi RumbleBR,  I am not entirely clear on what you are describing. Could you provide a step-by-step breakdown of what you are doing and how it is not working as expected? Perhaps with a screenshot?
If I am following you correctly, RumbleBR, you are duplicating a character sheet for your players to use for their character?  If this is the case, you can create a blank character sheet for each. You will then need to assign a character sheet to each player in the game for them to be able to see and edit it.

I am trying to say I am creating a character sheet for everyone can edit and see, and I am trying to duplicate this chracter sheet for everyone can pic one and edit, but when I duplicate a character sheet with everyone permission to edit, create a duplicate wich only the DM haver permission to edit, and not a copy like the previous one.

Ok, let me see if I understand correctly:  You set up a character sheet that everyone can edit and see.  You duplicate the character sheet.  The duplicate does not have the permissions for your players to edit and see?  This is correct behavior, it should not have permissions for your players to edit and see. You will need to assign them.  Additionally you will need to fix the token as it will still be linked to the original character sheet, not the copy.

Up until a few days ago, I used to be able to copy a character and the setting for "In Player's Journals" and "Can be Edited and Controlled by" would copy over as well. Me and several other dms used to be able to do this, now when we copy our blank editable characters it does not copy over the access anymore. This is a real pain when trying to create some quick blanks for people to edit now.

If that was the previous behavior you experienced and now it is not behaving that way then it may be a bug. In that case please file a bug report with the Devs via the Help Center .  It may be a change due to the new Roll20 Characters system.

This is a real pain when trying to create some quick blanks for people to edit now. I noticed this as well.  I recently submitted a help request and I'm fairly certain (hard to verify because I deleted some old emails that included roll20 related correspondence...) that the response I got back from roll20 was that they were aware of the problem and were working on it.  This was in the last couple weeks.
