Duplicate Without Content bug

Elements
1

I think I’ve found a bug. In the Page Layout inspector, if I use Duplicate Without Content, I can’t drag items into the object (either from the Components Inspector or from within the Page Layout). I can drag items into the container in the editor, but once I do, even though they are still editable in the editor, they disappear from the Page Layout inspector. This is 2.0 beta 6

Hi @dvrooman,

Thanks for reporting this, you’re right, it’s a bug. We’ve tracked it down and have a fix ready.

The issue was that when duplicating without content, the duplicated element’s container structure (its dropzones) wasn’t being preserved. So the copy ended up with no dropzones at all, which meant:

  • You couldn’t drag items into it from the Components Inspector or Page Layout

  • Items added via the editor wouldn’t appear in Page Layout (even though they were there in the editor)

This will be fixed in the next build. Appreciate you catching it!
