This is a follow up to my thread on copying text from one column to another.  I proceeded as follows:
 
1) Selected multiple items
2) Pasted into properties pane item field: =[Narr-1]
3) Right-clicked on properties pane item> parse equation
 
Most of the items were correctly copied but 20-30% were not.  Item cell displayed the equation instead of copied text.  I tried running "parse equation" again and also deleted the equation and typed it in again.  Nothing worked.  Any cell that didn't work the first time didn't work no matter what I tried.  Couldn't see any pattern to the failures.

Hi Wayne,
 
I was able to reproduce it. It seems that some text cells end with an empty character (chr(0)0. Not sure what is causing this. It is normally without consequences. In this case however, it prevented the equation from running correctly. This is fixed in v103
 
In v104, I'll add a dialog to copy field values. It should offer more options and streamline the process
