Copy Error

This Error Reference applies to: Any version.
This Error Reference is intended for: Any audience.

Copy errors may occur when a Plone user adds a Zope folder through the ZMI and attempts to paste Plone objects inside that folder

Should you receive a "Copy Error", like this:
"The object <objectName> does not support this operation. "

If this error occurs after you attempted to paste a Plone object into a new folder you just created through the ZMI, then its likely you have created the wrong type of folder.

If the folder icon is different to other folders, such as the Members folder (assuming you have a members folder), then you have likely added a Zope Folder, by clicking, add a "Folder" in the ZMI

What you want to do is to create a folder by adding "Plone Content" in the ZMI.

You can now paste any plone objects into this folder, and not get the error message.

As a general rule, always create the folders from Plone, not the ZMI.
