Issue/Introduction

Auto Fill to copy values for newly created Sub Object rows that are still in an 'unsaved' state in grid produces duplicates

Steps to Reproduce: 
1- Open a project and select a Module tab for a subobject
2- Create one sub object and let it save
3- Now, Click the + twice to create 2 rows
4- Drag and Drop the values from the first sub object onto the two new ones

Expected Results: Values are copied to new sub objects

Actual Results:  Sub objects are duplicated. Instead of creating 2 rows, it creates 4

Workaround: Create one "unsaved" row at a time to use the drag and drop or create multiple rows that get saved first, before using the drag-n-drop.

Environment

Release : 16.1.2

Resolution

This is a limitation.   When creating UNSAVED rows, using 'auto-fill' to copy data into multiple columns and rows is not currently supported.  

Using 'auto-fill' for multiple columns and rows is only supported on existing, saved rows.
