Legendary Creature — Kor Advisor
When Ertha Jo enters, create a 1/1 red Mercenary creature token with ": Target creature you control gets +1/+0 until end of turn. Activate only as a sorcery."
Whenever you activate an ability that targets a creature or player, copy that ability. You may choose new targets for the copy.

If the activated ability's cost contains a choice, such as a creature to sacrifice or a number of counters to remove, the copy uses that same information. You can't pay the cost again, even if you want to.
wotc12 Apr 2024
If the ability divides damage or distributes counters among a number of targets, the division and number of targets can't be changed. If you choose new targets, you must choose the same number of targets.

The copy made by Ertha Jo's triggered ability is created on the stack, so it's not "activated."
wotc12 Apr 2024
Any choices made when the ability resolves won't have been made yet when it's copied. Any such choices will be made separately when the copy resolves.
wotc12 Apr 2024
If the ability is modal (that is, if it says, "Choose one —" or similar), the mode is copied and can't be changed.

The source of the copy is the same as the source of the original ability.
