2.3.4.117 top row editing command (copy, delete etc)

I have cloned a rule and changed the devices during the clone. Now when I go to edit it from the top row copy or delete, I see the original local file names and not the new ones I have already manually changed. Makes it hard to edit rule with old values. This rule and others have been saved etc.

rule
mass copy

The rule shows the top two lines including the name garage light. The top row copy function shows the original bWtrHtr local file and not the current one.

Hope it makes sense, didn't sleep and not feeling good.

I will look into it.

I think what is going on is that the text of the original rule was carried over in part of the rule's state. I also think that if you edit those actions in the cloned copy (just click on the action and then hit Done Editing), that will fix it. The cloning process itself just makes device replacements, it doesn't have any knowledge of Rule 5.1 internals, or what else might need to be updated to reflect those changed devices. Nor, for that matter does the cloned rule even know it's a clone, and that these data objects might need updating. Basically, this is just a limitation of the cloning process.

Update: I found the reason for this, and it can be fixed to work properly. Next release.
