3.5.4 Information inherited when pasting steps or relational lines
When you paste a step or relational line you have copied or cut, some information associated with the item is inherited at the destination. After pasting a step or relational line, review the definition information for the destination development service template as needed.
The following table shows the information related to steps or relational lines that is inherited when you paste the item.
Copied or cut item |
Information for copied or cut item |
Information at paste destination |
---|---|---|
Step |
Step ID |
A step ID must be unique within the flow (not including subordinate hierarchy flows). If there is no step with the same step ID at the paste destination, the information of the copy or cut source is inherited as-is. If there is a step with the same step ID, the step ID of the pasted step changes to step-ID_n, where n is a unique integer of 2 or higher. If step-ID_n is longer than 30 characters, the excess characters are truncated from the end of the step ID. |
Step name |
If there is no step with the same name at the paste destination, the information of the copy or cut source is inherited as-is. If there is a step with the same name, the step name of the pasted step is changed to step-name_n, where n is a unique integer of 2 or higher. If step-name_n is longer than 64 characters, the excess characters are truncated from the end of the step ID. |

If a step uses a development plug-in or release plug-in, the step is added to the property group for the default property. If a step uses a service component, information about the property group is also inherited. |

Direction |
The system copies information about the direction of relational lines. However, lines that connect to steps outside the selected range are not copied. |
