SYMPTOMS
When you make a copy of a connected posting, the new posting does not have any record of the existing connected posting. Therefore, when you copy a channel of postings (with connected pages inside), all the connected postings are broken.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do either of the following:
 * Instead of using the copy functionality for connected pages, manually re-create the connected postings.
 * Create a script that accesses the ROM. This script recurses through a channel hierarchy, duplicates the hierarchy, and then creates a connected posting that is based on the information that it has gathered. Note, however, that this workaround requires you to create code.



This behavior is by design.



The copy functionality was created to make shallow copies of postings. Because connected pages are more than just shallow structures, the functionality does not apply to connected pages.
