    Copy-paste rules bugs

    When you copy a rule and subsequently delete another rule, the clipboard loses that copied rule for some unexplained reason so that it must be copied again. Also, sometimes after pasting a rule, the conditon (if there is one), turns into an expression formula when referencing another column in the form. This causes the rule to not work anymore. It can be fixed by re-creating the condition or trying copy-paste a few more times. Anyone else notice this behavior?

     Oh, I shake my fist at these little bugs sometimes (but mostly I'm just super happy I can copy & paste rules, even if I have to fix them up sometimes). Usually the issue I see with the expression changing is when the condition references the field the rule is on - it is probably using "." and when pasted, "." now refers to the current context node. :) I usually just double check my rules after pasting to make sure they are in order.
