3101637 - Text copying rule (fixed indicator) makes text disappear from existing purchasing documents

You would change the Copying Rules configuration for for example a Purchase Order (PO) item long text like Material PO Text from following settings:

Sequence	Source object	Text Fixed	Fixed indicator
0	Purchase Order	Material PO text	<empty> (Text automatically adopted in target object)
1	Material Master	Purchase Order text	* (User can have text adopted in target object)

to following setup:

Sequence	Source object	Text Fixed	Fixed indicator
0	Purchase Order	Material PO text	* (User can have text adopted in target object)
1	Material Master	Purchase Order text	<empty> (Text automatically adopted in target object)Sequence Source object Source Text Fixed indicator

but when you do that any existing PO lose their links to the Material PO Text, so previuosly text appeared on ME23n item long text tab, but now nothing.
