Just learned the above trick to create a copy of a control from a recent thread. Found out today that there is a difference between copy/paste and option-drag. If you copy/paste a control in a group, the copy is not part of the group, but if you option-drag it, the copy remains in the group.

I think it depends on how you work with groups. If you use Edit Group to go in and edit a group, copy and paste acts the same as option-drag. If you prefer to directly select objects inside a group, without actually going into the group, then copy and paste acts differently, because you’re at
