Symptoms

When using the copy/paste function on a project with a Project ID containing numbers separated by a dash, like 12345-54321, in P6 Professional when the layout is set as a list with no Grouping (Stored Procedure is not used), the Project ID drops all of the numbers after the dash ("-") and adds the next sequential number available resulting in Project ID like 12345-1 instead of 12345-54321-1.
When the layout is set grouped by EPS (Stored Procedure is used) the Project ID is created as expected: 12345-54321-1.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

Project IDs will not be truncated when copy/paste of a project is done when not grouped by EPS.


The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. Logon to P6 Professional.
2. Go to Enterprise > Project.
3. Go to View > Group and Sort By > and select "List".
4. Copy/paste a project with name 12345-54321.
5. The Project ID for the new project is 12345-1 instead of 12345-54321-1.
