Event+Automation does not get copy/pasted together

Hey there,
when trying to copy an event of a track and the automation data below it, only the event gets copied and the automation data will be left behind.

So when I have a certain section, I want to copy over to another part in the song, I’d have to do it one by one.
I attached a video where the issue is shown:

Steps to reproduce:

  • create a midi track
  • draw an event on that track
  • open an automation lane on that track and add some automation points
  • select event+automation points and copy it
  • paste it to another section in the song
  • only the event gets copied

Have you tried selecting the parts and events using the Range Selection tool?
Alternatively, you could enable “Automation Follows Events”.

Thanks for your input!
“Automation Follows Events” is something I don’t like to use, as the events get used multiple times in a project, but often in another context, so the automation is different there as well. So I copy only the automation when I need it.

The range selection tool is able to copy both events and automation data, also ALT+Drag is able to copy/paste it somewhere else and of course you can select and move/mouse drag the events/automation somewhere else on that track, but normal selecting+Copy/Cut/Pasting does not work. :thinking:

So I for me ALT+Drag is the most intuitive workaround I guess, but hopefully this is gonna be adressed.

Just got the answer from support, that this is intended. Still confused how it can be intended not to copy something I selected and copied before. If I would not like to copy it, then I would not select it?

Also it only does not work, when you selected an event and its automation points below. All other similar operations work.
