Trying to duplicate a board to use as a template but when I duplicate the board, ALL the activity/change history is duplicated as well, which isn’t appropriate for a template board. Any help?

Can you duplicate a board WITHOUT copying the activity history?

I tried the following methods of copying board content and in all cases the activity history was still present:
- Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V all content from one board to another.
- Duplicate the board.
- Saved the board content as a Custom Template (both Personal and Shared with Team) and then used that new Custom Template in a new board.
- Download board backup as .rtb and imported into a completely different plan type in a different Miro account profile.
- Note:
- Doing this removed the name, date, and time from the Activity history of when the objects were originally created - they all now shows the date/time of the .rtb restore/upload
- However, the one Comment on the board still shows my name with the .rtb export date/time and that I created the Comment object, even thought I created the Comment weeks ago.

I also tried restoring the .rtb board backup to the Miro account profile & team where I created it from and in both cases when I view the Activity history of the “Restored” board, it shows all objects being “added” by the person completing the restore with the data/time being the that of the restore. Even when the original board showed, for example, that I added and then edited a sticky, when the restore happens by someone else, it just shows that the sticky was added by the person who restored the backup.
Thank you
