It seems that I can't rename/copy/paste a CatalogAware ZClass Instance. Is this true? If so, is there a workaround?

I have the same problem with cutting and pasting. So far, I haven't found a solution. This looks related to CatalogAwareness. (I copied a traceback snippet below for reference). I can still copy and paste a ZClass Instance, then delete the original instance. As for renaming, I can rename the instances OK. Can you see the IDs of your instances? If you cannot see the ID values on the property pages and cannot access them from DTML take a look at this draft document: <http://www.zope.org/Members/AlexR/ZClassIDBug>. It might help. Cheers.
