Copy card question from 1 stack file to another

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Jim,

When you paste any object, Rev can't know it is the same as a  
previous one you have pasted (even the ID is the same some properties  
could have been changed in the meantime in the source object).
So it's a normal behaviour to see new objects created with new IDs  
allocated.
To avoid this, you can copy/paste the first card then create new  
cards in the second stack and finally import the texts into the fields.
When you create new cards, groups the background behaviour of which  
is set to true are only "placed" (see this command) and then keep the  
same ID.

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
