Duplicating a note does not copy over attachments

[Seacube 4]

Hi,

When processing an email with multiple attachments, I sometimes find it useful to create a separate note for each attachment and continue to process / iterate on each note independent of the others. To do this, I would typically duplicate the source note, and then remove the attachments I don't need from the duplicate. I might create multiple such duplicates.

in the latest version of Evernote, however, duplicating a note doesn't seem to be copying over the attachments - which is causing me to do extra work to get my notes in order.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I'm using Evernote 10.7.6 on MacOS Catalina.

I'm not a Mac user,  so this is just an observation - but it might be more efficient anyway to export all attachments to a note to the desktop and then duplicate as many times as necessary,  attaching files as required.

I also use an exported ENEX file as a template - double-clicking the file generates a new note in my account. Might be worth exporting the note to be duplicated and then repeatedly clicking the ENEX file to generate several additional copies.

It's also possible that a developer used the logic that in duplicating a note,  users would require the text but not any duplicated file attachments and coded the process to avoid wasting space...

Just tried it on my Mac with several notes containing multiple pictures. EN 10.8.4, MacOS 11.2.1 .

The notes duplicated just fine, all attachments were copied to the new note.

If you have a problem, issue a support ticket. They can look into the activities log, maybe they find something.
