Summary0004998: Copying A Property That Contains A Binding Fails To Copy The Ancestor Type Value
Description

Currently, we offer a method to navigate to a Property's 3-Dot Menu and select 'Copy', to then be able to 'Paste' it on another Element.

However, when hitting 'Copy' on a Property that instead of a pure local value, contains a Binding, the Copy-Paste operations fails to carry over the 'Ancestor Type' Property/Value.
It does however appear that all other Properties do successfully get copied, and pasted.

See attached video.


Repro Steps:

1) Download, unzip, and open the attached Studio Project.

2) Navigate to the Resources Panel, and under the GlobalResources' merged dictionaries, click 'Icon_Resources'.

3) In 'Icon_Resources' list of Resources, identify the Resource named 'ContentControl_Content_Icon_ItemType_SIDE_Template', and open it for edit by hovering over it, and clicking on the Pencil icon.
This will open it in the Resources-based Template Editor.

4) Expand all Elements in the Navigator, and identify the two '[Path]' Elements, then select the one that has a yellow Binding on its 'Fill' Property.

5) Hover over the 'Fill' Property, and from its 3-Dot Menu, select 'Copy'.

6) Select the other [Path] Element, hover over its 'Fill' Property, and from its 3-Dot Menu, select 'Paste'.

Observe how the expected colour from the first [Path] Element is not displaying on-Stage.

7) Expand the Binding Menu of the Binding that was pasted.
Observe how a value is missing in the 'Ancestor Type' Property.

8) Set 'ContentControl' as the Ancestor Type value, and press [Enter] to set it.

Observe how this has worked with success, and that this Property Value was the only issue not ported over during the copy-paste.

Expected Results: The values of all Properties Pasted are carried over to where they are Pasted, provided compatibility between Element Properties.
