Description
On a fresh pfSense install, I create an OpenVPN client and the connection successfully starts (as seen in Status>OpenVPN), then I duplicate that client and check the status, where I see the error for my duplicated client "Unable to contact daemon" and "Service not running?"
If I manually create all of my OpenVPN clients, there is no issue

Not a bug, but a configuration issue. If it didn't start, then you must not have changed settings sufficiently to make it unique.
When duplicating, you have to change conflicting settings that would otherwise cause it to fail. Input validation catches some of these, but especially with custom options it's impossible to catch them all.
