Copy of ranking system fails to preserve Ranking Method setting

When making a copy of a ranking system which has its Ranking Method set to Percentile NAs Neutral, the copy reverts to Percentile NAs Negative. I didn’t expect that behavior.

Can Copy be modified to preserve all RS settings?

Hi Walter, I’m not sure if this helps, but what I’ve been doing is opening a ranking system I want to copy and then from the “gearbox” icon selecting “save as”. It’ll give me an option box below the area for the new filename that defaults to “NAs negative”. I change that that to the “NAs neutral” option and leave everything else.

Ha! I must be going blind! I didn’t notice that even though it’s smack in the middle of the page. Thanks, Michael!

The ranking system shouldn’t be changing its configuration when being copied, regardless of this feature to do it manually.

Agreed. Defaulting to the current Ranking Method would be better. I’m not sure why it’s even an option under Save As, but if I slow down a bit, at least I can change the value before committing to the save.
