Hi,

We are having a problem with the built-in copy/paste functionality in EPiServer 4.62.0.533. When right-clicking on a page and selecting "Copy" and then right-clicking somewhere else in the page tree and selecting "Paste", an error is given (see below)

Any ideas on what's wrong in this case?

Regards.

Emil

Seems like you have a custom event handler registered in global.asax.cs for the creating page event. Could you check your global.asax.cs and see what your CheckPropertiesForFormatting() method actually does? Or even better: debug and put a breakpoint in this method.
