This proves to be a very challenging task. I'm trying to copy several items (with hierarchies, one or two fields with inheritance on, etc.) from one database to another (need to share some stuff with a co-worker)  and it just freezes the application -- waited for half an hour, and nothing happens.. (Note that both databases are identical in terms of fields configuration : basically the same databases, minus the items and a few grids).

 

It works when I'm copying only a few nested items, but as soon as there are more than just a few (like, say, 30)....  finito.

 

some stuff gets copied, but only partially (ie : some item field content will be missing, some items will be completely missing, etc.)

 

I haven't done extensive testing, but I'd like to know if it's a common problem ?

 

Since copying/pasting (the xml way) is the only way to transfer items between db at the moment, it would be good if it worked flawlessly.
