Hmm… that sound strange. Normally if you select any group or activity and copy it (CMD+C), and paste it somewhere (CMD+V), all connected information (assignments, work/duration, utilisation, alignment, finances, notes) are included. The only information which is not included is the start/end dates and all styles. And this is because a good reason:
- if you paste the activity somewhere, you have to reschedule it anyway
- when it come to styles, the styles rules habe a higher priority, therefore the individual styles (Selection) are not transferred.
We try to encourage all users to work with rule system. Here you can find some good background on the styles system in Merlin Project: https://www.projectwizards.net/en/support/documentation/merlin-project-express/quickguide/styles
