Local fix

Problem summary

• The literal text "12.", "61.", "6023.", and "2094."  in a Script
   task interferes with the internal ID parsing.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix will be available in a future release of Business
  Automation Workflow that ensures duplicating a service flow
  works as expected.
  

Temporary fix
