Can't copy and paste project folders in databases

Copy and pasting projects works fine, you can highlight as many as you want and ctrl+c and v work fine

It doesn't work with folders though for some reason is this just an oversight or is there a reason for this? I know internally Resolve doesn't play well with folders like Pr Pro does but I'm not sure why it wouldn't work normally in the database

Not quite following. Can you expand on that a bit?

So I was playing around with databases, and wanted to copy a few folders from one to the other, it won't let you do this, it will however let you go into the folder, select all 20 projects inside it, and copy and paste it that way.
So for some reason, folders can't be copied but the insides of folders can which is just strange

Got it.

You're doing this in the Project Manager?

Alright.

So, my guess is that what you want just isn't possible. Hasn't been programmed to be possible.
