Hi Tom,<br>
<br>
I'm glad you found 'another way' but in the interest of no one I wish
to add the following.<br>
<br>
These methods: manage_copyObjects, manage_cutObjects and
manage_pasteObjects should be reviewed in /OFS/CopySupport.py - because
the current docs do not describe them well.<br>
<br>
For example, the copy method works differently depending on whether you
just pass the container's Ids or pass the Ids *and* the REQUEST.<br>
<br>
No reason to beat a dead horse but of the 3 tries you listed only the
first can (but conditionally) work:<br>
<br>
context.manage_pasteObjects(context.REQUEST) <br>
<br>
But *only* if you first called manage_copyObjects (or manage_cutObject)
with the REQUEST as a parameter included .... (only then does REQUEST
get the __cp object)<br>
<br>
Your second try:<br>
<font><span class="374435100-09032006"></span></font><br>
<font><span class="374435100-09032006"><font size="2"><big>context.manage_pasteObjects(context.cb_dataItems())</big></font></span></font><br>
<font><span class="374435100-09032006"></span></font><br>
<font><span class="374435100-09032006"><font size="2"><big>Is wrong
because it is passing a list of items in the clip board instead of the
the encoded copy object (returned by manage_copyObjects) that
"manage_pasteObjects" expects</big></font></span></font><br>
<font><span class="374435100-09032006"></span></font><br>
<font><span class="374435100-09032006"><font size="2"><big>Your last
try is wrong because both parameters are incorrect.</big></font></span></font>
:-)<font><span class="374435100-09032006"></span></font><br>
<font><span class="374435100-09032006"><font size="2"><big><br>
All best,</big></font></span></font><br>
