I'm not sure what you mean by moral duties, as opposed to a moral code. Could you elaborate please?
If the duties are the interpretation of the code, then yes of course, those are subjective.
The thing I find weirdest about proponents of "an objective morality" is that they talk about it like it's a real, existent entity; like it's floating around somehow. If they are religious, all they generally mean is "god's opinion" and they assume that this also just happens to be best for wellbeing, without demonstrating this to be true.
God's opinion is also not objective, however, you could take a snapshot of it at a particular moment in whatever passes for "time" for him, and then a code based on his opinions would be objective.
My whole post was probably way too long. I wanted to share my thoughts and there were probably too many
