Information valid from AMI version 8.0 initial release
Summary
The following logic is used to auto-map the objects or relations on the clipboard when a Paste Relations dialog is first displayed, or the user clicks the 'Auto Map' button.
- If the clipboard contains relations, then the pasted items are auto-mapped to the relevant relation slots (e.g. if the clipboard contains a 'Main Image' asset relation then it will be pasted into the 'Main Image' slot).
- If the clipboard contains plain objects, then auto-map can only work if the user has an existing related object or empty relation slot already selected.
- If there is a single object on the clipboard, then it will be auto-mapped to any selected related objects (replacing them) or empty relation slots.
- If there are several objects on the clipboard, then auto-map will only work if the user has a single 'allow multi instance' relation selected (or one or more 'allow multi instance' related objects already selected within a single single 'allow multi instance' relation, all of which will be replaced). All of the clipboard objects will be mapped to this selected 'allow multi instance' product relation.
