Problem with options on duplicated units

Here is the problem I am experiancing.

I have a unit with two sub-units (Grenadier Platoon with an HQ Section and Rifle Squad) the Grenadier Platoon has an option that that causes the HQ Section to change from a SMG team to a Panzerfaust SMG team.

Specifically, both the SMG team and the Panzerfaust SMG team are options with Live functions defined at the option level. The HQ Section has the tag for the SMG from design time. Selecting the option on the Grenadier platoon removes the SMG tag and adds the Panzerfaust SMG tag.

When a unit with this option selected is duplicated, the HQ section is generated with neither tag.

Now, the one work around that I know is to write a pre-link that checks to see if the parent unit option is selected but that seems like to much work. Is there an easier fix I'm missing?

This sounds like a bug in the duplication logic within AB. So I'm not sure if there's an actual fix you can apply in the data files. You could implement things differently so that the bug in AB is avoided, but that's not really a "fix" - it would be a work-around. And I'm not sure there's a good way to work around this bug. I recommend just leaving it and putting a FAQ entry in the files to flag this as a known bug in AB. We'll get it fixed in the next update (more on that should be posted shortly).
 
I knew I should have double checked that. It actually does have the tag for Panzerknacker SMG but it doesn't trip the Live function and display the option.
