Hi All,

I am new to Commcare.  
I was trying to copy and paste a group questions so I can ask them separately for male and female head of household.  
The software allowed the copy command but it displays a warning for the paste command

Warning: Unsupported paste format

How do I copy and paste a group question?  
Looking forward to your help.

Many thanks,  
Jon

Jon,

That sounds like a potential bug with the website. Can you report an issue  
from CommCare HQ describing the action you took so our support team can  
look into it?

Thanks!
