Example: You have a large paragraph assigned to multiple parents. You want to split the single large item into into two or three smaller items to make them easier to read.

 

When you do this, the new item doesn't inherit the multiple parents. You have to track down all the other parents and manually copy/paste the new split items. If you fail to do this, the split info will disappear altogether from the other parents and information in those contexts will be lost.

 

I tried using the split dialog with "duplicate item values" checked but apparently parent assignments are not considered values.

 

I don't know all the implications of changing how this works, but wouldn't it make sense to have split items inherit multiple parents?  Or is there a way right now to avoid this problem?
