Explorer "Paste Into" Disabled when ScriptDocuments Open

Prior behavior that allowed you to use the “Paste Into” behavior when copying and pasting Instances into the Explorer is now disabled. I know that this behavior was previously allowed because multiple coworkers are complaining about this buggy behavior that worked previously for them. Paste Into is very valuable workflow behavior and it should not be disabled when ScriptDocuments are open.

Expected behavior

Paste Into’s functionality should be available when ScriptDocuments are open.

Yup this is happening to me too on Mac

Can confirm paste into behavior is getting disabled while scripts are open, which is a new issue, but also sometimes paste into continues to be disabled after closing scripts, forcing me to restart studio. Very frustrating and disruptive to my workflow

I can reproduce this too, and I was in fact, looking for a thread for this. It makes moving items around very cumbersome as you have to paste them into the workspace, then manually move them into where you wanted it initially. The keyboard shortcut for it doesn’t work either.

Yep, had to duplicate then manually move with my mouse

Can confirm this is on the latest Studio build.

A workaround is to close the script or switch tabs to the 3D viewport.
