Is there some rule that determines whether, when a field or group is
copied in LiveCode (using the "copy <object> to <somewhere>" command)
the contents of the field or grouped fields are copied?
This result seems strange: copying a field or group from a different
stack to the current card includes the field contents if the current
card is card number 1, but not otherwise.
Recipe:
Create two stacks, "x" and "y"
Create a second card in stack y
Create two fields on card 1 of stack x, put some content in them, and
group them.
Now with card 1 of stack y frontmost, type in the message box:
copy group 1 of stack "x" to this card
Then with card 2 of stack y frontmost, type in the message box:
copy group 1 of stack "x" to this card
Result:
When copying to card 1, the content of the fields is copied.
When copying to card 2, the fields are empty.
Thanks for any insights into this.
