When copying a dictionary from another variable they share the same resource, how can I make a copy instead?

If I copy a dictionary from another variable, then if I change something about 1 of the variables the other one also changes. How can I avoid that?

Example:

var list = {1:1}
var copy = list
copy.1=2
print(list.1)

This would print 2 instead of 1

You want to use:

var list = {1:1}
var copy = list.duplicate(true)
copy.1=2
print(list.1)
