Hi Henk,

Without having looked at your stack, I remember having
the odd problem with background fields and their
content not getting copied over when copying the
field.
This has to do with the 'text' property being split
among cards (unless your field has the 'sharedText'
property set to true, in which case the text is the
same on all cards that share the field).

You'll have to explicitly go to the card befor copying
it to your other stack. The same goes for using the
'value' function to pick up data from a field in a
background group.
See also bugzilla #1836 and #3827.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
