    copying nested content shows content from copied content

    Hi all

    i have created a handfull of websites in Umbraco 8 and build it with pagemodules with nested content. if we add a nested content item to a page with a textarea with the text "this is the initial text" for example and then we want to copy that nested content by using the copy function in nested content.

    but the problem is that the copied content references the source content somehow and even though i fill in the text "this is a new text" and save and publish the text will not change in the frontend on the copied nested content. and the text will keep displaying "this is the initial text".

    Has anyone else experienced the same issue and maybe has a solution to fix it ?

    Thanks

    Okay, so I'm 99% sure there are issues with Nested Content Copy and Paste functionality up to version 8.6.3

    https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/issues/5913

    So in order for it to work properly you'll need to update to that version as a minimum.

    Also... something important to note, this update doesn't fix existing content. Unfortunately as far as I know the fix for existing content is to delete and re-add the affected modules.

    Sorry I don't have better news, but if you upgrade the sites they shouldn't have the issue with "new" content moving forward.
