[Zope-dev] Problem with programmatic copy and paste

[Richard Taylor]

We are trying to copy the contents of one folder into another using DTML.

The code below produces the following exception:
         'One or more items referred to in the clipboard data was not found. The item         
          may have been moved or deleted after you copied it.'

<dtml-let clip="manage_copyObjects(objectIds())">
 <dtml-with Folder>
         <dtml-with "_.getitem(REQUEST['id'])">
                 <dtml-call "manage_pasteObjects(clip)">
         </dtml-with>
 </dtml-with>
</dtml-let>


This works (mostly) if the getitem call is removed, and the objects are pasted
into 'Folder' - which is an instance of a ZClass, which subclasses folder.

I have seen a similar question to this in the archives of this list but I have
not found an answer.

Can anyone help?
