Dont want to copy Fields when Items are copied

Hi @all,

in an Item-Type we have a long-text-field, which works as a kind of log. Every time a related child-item is changed, this log gets a new entry. When users now are copying one of the parent-items, the content of this field is also copied. But it shouldnt! How can i prevent this behaviour? The Item-Type hasnt any entry in its "Copy Fields"-Section.

thanks, Jens

Jens,

I think leaving the "Copy Fields" Section empty is the equivalent of the old behaviour where all fields were copied.

I am not sure how to make it such that no fields are copied without de-selecting the "Copy Fields" when doing the actual copy. Perhaps you can specify one field (Such as Summary) which would mean that only Summary would be copied and this would avoid the longtext field being copied

I think the precedence is:
- Copy Fields for Type is Empty/Copy Fields selected -> Copy all fields
- Copy Fields for Type is Empty/Cop Fields de-selected -> No fields are copied
- Copy Fields for Type is has some selection/Copy Fields selected -> Copy just selected fields
- Copy Fields for Type is has some selection/Copy Fields de-selected -> No fields are copied

Hope this helps,

Craig

Hi Craig,

thanks for your answer. I'll try this, but i think it's not a really "intuitive" way.

regards, Jens
