Question:
Fields were copied over when creating a draft version of a document. This resulted in some fields having values that should have been blank in the Draft version. Why Do Copied Fields Have Values When Creating a Draft Vault Document?
Answer:
This is working as designed. If the option to copy fields or content is selected when creating a draft version, then related fields that are configured as Editable are copied over from the previous version.
There are two ways to resolve this issue:
- Manually edit the affected fields in the Draft version so that they are blank.
- Do not select the option to Copy over fields and/or content.
