copy to or recall from - devices in a preset

hi guys,

in an existing preset with a couple of lamps i would like to you use the function "copy to" or "recall from" to get the parameters from one device to an other but it didn`t work.
Using these functions without a preset (manual parameters) is working. If i`m using the soft key "make absolute" to the parameters from the preset i can copy them. So i`m not sure; is this a bug (using eos v. 2.9) or am i not allowed to use "copy to" and "recall from" to devices which are playing in presets?

greetings,

thope

    I'm not sure what you're doing here.

    If you're in Live, you would not be recalling or copying data, you would be Live. So channel (1) [Preset] (1)  [Enter] gives channel 1 all of the pertinent data stored in Preset 1.

    If you're in Blind. Cue, Submaster, Preset or other.... You can, from your Cue; channel (1) [Recall from] [Preset] (1) [Enter] and the Cue will now possess all of the data in channel 1 from Preset 1.

    Thank`s for your answer. So I`m using this functions and I know how to use this in blind. I like using recall from or copy to in live mode, too. 

    So in summary:

    Copy datas from a chanel in a preset to a chanel which is not in the same preset is possible.
    I don`t understand why it`s not possible to copy datas from a chanel whitch is in a preset to another chanel in the same preset.

    For completeness the reason it doesn't work for you is the copy does a literal copy so

    if channel is CP1 then chan1 copy to chan2 sets chan2 to CP1.   If you then put something in CP1 for chan2 (or it was a by type CP)  it would come out on the channel. 

    If you do chan1 copy to chan2 {Make Absolute}  then it copies the actual values from 1 to 2 rather than the reference to the palette.
