Symptoms

After attempting to run a copy/paste job within P6 Professional using a project which contains either -#.##, -#.L##, or -#.#L#, at the end of the Project ID name, a "Copy Projects" service job creates and completes successfully but the new project does not display within the UI.

The following errors are logged in the P6WebAccess.html log file for the process running "Copy Projects" service jobs:
