Additional Information 

You cannot copy a generated component from another application unless the
source information for the component also exists in the application.

You must generate the new item after the copy has finished.  The copy
process does not generate the new item automatically.  This allows you to
modify the new item before you generate it.

The copy does not occur until you press the  Commit Data  function key.
