Cause

This behavior occurs only on Copy With Source Status and not on Copy With In Preparation Status. This is because on Copy With Source Status, the original quantity unit of Service used to copy is persisted in the newly copied Service. Therefore, as soon as the system interprets a new quantity unit, it asks for a conversion.

Resolution

This is a designed system behavior. You may use Copy with In Preparation Status while creating a new Service.
