/copy_batch

Hello,

 

I'm performing some test with /copy_batch, and I found that if I add two copies of the same file, for example:

 

"from_path":"/folder1/file1.txt","to_path":"/folder1/file2.txt"
"from_path":"/folder1/file1.txt","to_path":"/folder1/file3.txt"

 

I get this error:

{".tag":"failed","failed":{".tag":"duplicated_or_nested_paths"}}

 

I think this must be a bug, because it shouldn't be a problem to have the same source path is in more than one entry of the list.

It is only the destination path that shouldn't be repeated.

Only for Move it would be a problem, but not for Copy.

This bug seems to still be there. 

 

I can't make two copies of a file that is up on dropbox already, i get {".tag":"failed","failed":{".tag":"duplicated_or_nested_paths"}}

Yes, this is still open. I'll check in with the team on this and follow up here if/when I have any news.
Need more support?
