  4. Insert an Attachment named “RightGripAttachment” into the Handle
  5. Duplicate the Accessory and drag it into the character model from Explorer
    i. this should correctly weld the Accessory to the right hand

Expected Behavior
I expect pasting the Accessory into the character to function identically to dragging the Accessory into the character. That is, the Accessory should weld to the correct body part after pasting.

Actual Behavior
The pasted Accessory does not weld to any of the character’s body parts.

Demonstration

IIRC this problem also occurs with Hats and Tools (meaning an ages old problem). Pasting instances directly into the character skips over the welding process which is why I’ve always conditioned myself to drag any accessories I need into the character rather than directly pasting them in.

I’m just commenting to bump this post becuase I hate that studio does not auto weld an item to a character. It really puts a strain on making npc’s for my game.
