(tested on 5e, without extensions)

hello,

I can't duplicate a character (drag and dropping it on the character selection tab: nothing happens).

I'm guessing this might be a bug :)

I can replicate what you are seeing. i.e. not able to copy a character. The only work around I've found is to export and import. I don't remember having to do that in the past. I don't know the intended function.

I'm not sure that it is intended either (I'm fairly sure that you could make a copy of a character via drag and drop). You can, funnily enough, drag a character from the party sheet into the character selection window to make a copy of it. I don't know if that's always been possible or whether that's new.

yeah, well i'm used to doing it this way (I would duplicate every player's character before lvl ups from the character selection tab)

maybe I was the only one using it this way, however here you can see it was indeed possible before: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?62563-Copy-Paste-characters#:~:text=The%20way%20to%20copy%20records ,The%20same%20for%20NPCs.

Indeed. I don't know if it is a bug or if the functionality has just changed for some reason. But Moon Wizard will know and comment in due course.

I've pushed an update to the Test channel with an update to fix that. I'll be most likely pushing after the holidays.
