[Bug 1220093] [NEW] "Make a copy" in Text Box block no longer works

 

Public bug reported:

While testing https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1194255 I noticed
that the "Make a copy" link no longer works. And you no longer get the
"Make a copy" link while first editing the Text Box.

To reproduce:

1. Install Mahara 1.8
2. Create a page
3. Put a Text Box on the page. Give it some content so you can tell it apart from others.
4. Put a second Text Box on the page. Use the "Use content from another text box" link to make it use the same Note as the first Text Box.

Expected Results: When you select the first text box, in addition to
seeing its content in the config form, you should also see a link that
says "If you edit the text of this block, it will also be changed in 1
other block(s) where it appears. Make a copy?"

Actual Result: You do not see that link.

Carrying on...

5. Save the second text box.
6. Click the edit icon for the second text box to edit it further
7. You will now see the link that asks where you would like to "Make a copy".
8. Click on that link.
9. Change the contents of the block.
10. Save the block.

Expected Result: The content of the second block will change, and there
will now be two Notes in your Content->Notes page

Actual Result: The content of both blocks will change, and there will
only be one Note in Content->Notes (because it did not actually make a
copy).
