+## Environment
+
+| Product | Telerik UI for WPF |
+| --- | --- |
+| Version | 2024.3.806 |
+
+## Description
+
+The __Edit Template --> Edit a Copy__ option in the Visual Studio designer is disabled for some Telerik controls. 
+
+In rare cases, even if the option is enabled, the extracted template may be missing some parts or property settings.
+
+## Solution
+
+To get the needed ControlTemplate and ensure that everything is properly extract, you can manually [copy the template from the corresponding Telerik .xaml file]({%slug styling-apperance-editing-control-templates%}).
+
+In case you have installed Telerik UI for WPF via the .msi installer, you can go to the __\installation folder\Themes.Implicit\<.net framework name>\<theme name>\<.xaml file name>__
+
+For example: `C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik UI for WPF 2024 Q3\Themes.Implicit\NET\Windows11\Themes\Telerik.Windows.Controls.Input.xaml`
+
+If you don't have the product installed, you can go to the [download page](https://www.telerik.com/account/downloads/product-download?product=RCWPF) and get the .zip file with the Telerik dlls (e.g.: Telerik_UI_for_WPF_2024_3_806_Dev_Dlls.zip). In the archive, you can find the Themes.Implicit folder, where you can search for the needed .xaml file.
+
+When you open the .xaml file, you can search for the control name + Style posting at the end. For example: "RadNumericUpDownStyle" or "RadGridViewStyle".
