Problem conclusion

• The following note has been added to the "Copying Attribute
  Values" topic in the Information Center:
  
  If you want to copy the values from one enumeration
  attribute to another, the two enumeration attributes must
  have the same possible values. For example, if you want to
  copy the values of an enumeration attribute with the
  possible values True and False, the attribute you want to
  copy the values to must have the same possible values. If
  the second enumeration attribute has possible values of Yes
  and No, the attribute values will not be copied.
