(Get the code!)
This is absolutely frustrating.
No special paste modes are required.
I have found that, if I copy a component and paste it, behaviour is as expected - the new component has the same attributes as the original, with the reference field cleared (e.g R?, U?, C? etc).
This is the same behaviour as V5, and makes perfect sense.
If, however, I edit any of the fields and THEN attempt to copy and paste, the new component has all the fields blank.
A work around appears to be to edit a component, save the schematic, CLOSE Eeschema and re-open it, then copy and paste the component.
I have also found that the problem only seems to affect subordinate sheets. It does not appear to happen on the main sheet.
Is it possible that the problem with copying sections of schematics to other sheets is to do with the way the paste function works on subordinate sheets?
