  Hello everyone, I have been an avid reader of mibuso.com for the last couple of years but this issue made me register now to write myself.
  
  Thanks azatoth for the link, but this is not really a solution It's more or less just an explanation how to reproduce the error.
  I haven't had this problem in NAV2013 with VS2010, it just occurred now as I tried NAV2013 R2 with VS2012.
  It's extremely annoying and costs us a lot more effort to complete a set of equal looking reports.
  
  Has somebody any idea how to copy fields WITH the contained custom expression?
  
  Copying a field including the expression onto the same location has been a matter of 5 seconds, now it takes an estimated minute, whitch blows our effort to more than a day per report. I don't know how we are supposed to sell this to our customers.
  
  I would appreciate any help :-k

  Just tested and this is a bug in Visual Studio 2013 as well. ](*,)
  
  I'm so tempted to write a blog post about all the new bugs in VS 2012 and VS 2013 which was not in VS 2010.
  Long blog post though

  I noticed that you can paste textboxes with "Code" in the expression, but only once. For example, I had a fresh, empty report and copied header textboxes from the invoice report. Then I could paste those to my new report. Another attempt at pasting ended with an error.

  Is this bug already solved?
  Im having this suddenly today. and see this issue open for what... 5 months now...
  In each version of that wonderfull Visual Studio (sarcasm on) you need to start over again.
  Getting annoyed is an understatement.
  I'm almost at the point I recommend customers to choose other software than NAV 2013 (R2).

  VS doesn't rename fields on the fly anymore, when you copy/paste
  giving unique table,field,group names etc. helps a lot
  
  or create a dummy report rename everything you want to copy and then copy/paste into original report
  i know not nice, but works.

  Option 2, the easy one:
  1. Open the textbox with custom code
  2. Now add a comment after the custom code.
  I.e. “Code.MyCustomeCode() ‘This is my custom code’”
  3. Close the Expression
  4. And copy the textbox
