BUG: Copy/paste Sub panels

[Yamaeda]

Copy-Pasting Subpanels doesn't work.

Creating one (ofc) yields a front panel object and a property node (1), but copying it doesn't. The 2nd only gets a new front panel object that doesn't 'count up' (2). If you instead copy the property node it doesn't create any front panel and doesn't link to the panel (3). Tested in 2019 and 2025. Also, if you copy-paste while the original is selected it replaces the panel and removes the property node ...

Hi Yamaeda,

This seems like normal behavior to me.

If you paste something while a selection is active : it replace the selection. Just like for text in notepad.

If you copy the subpanel from the front panel : you copy the front panel object, not its invoke node in block diagram. (what do you mean by "doesn't count up" ?)

If you copy a node from the block diagram, you copy the method, not the front panel object linked to it.

That's the exact same behaviour for others controls (numeric, string, ...).

If i copy/paste a .net container the reference on the block diagram remains (or is replaced), in this case it disappeared. That was the least interesting/buggy part of it.
