"Components variable are used in the copied elements, do you want to rename them automatically?"

Sometimes, when you copy&paste a bunch on components within the same job, you got an alert:

 "Components variable are used in the copied elements, do you want to rename them automatically?"

which ask you to answer YES/NO.

 

I have an idea on its meaning, but can you finally clarify what does it means?

 

Regards,

Lorenzo

Hi,

 

This is when you have things like a tFileList and then tFileInput, that uses the value from the tFileList, as it renames both components, its going to change the variables of both components used over as well. So, say, any references of tFileList_1 get switched over to tFileList_2.
