No element in a secondary option can be referenced by an element outside that option

[Wish List System]

Summary: I want to be able to paste into an option and duplicate a wall type within an option without having to go outside the option.

Description: I work in options quite a bit and constantly receive the following error:

"No element in a secondary Option can be referenced by an element outside that Option."

Huh?

All I was doing was pasting something in from another project while in an option...because I want that element in my option, not in the main model.

Or...

All I was trying to do was duplicate a wall type and modify it to generate a new wall type...a wall that I want in my option. Why should I leave the option in order to create a wall I want in the option?

This makes working in options needlessly cumbersome. In fact, I really can't see why Revit would force a user to exits options just to duplicate a wall type.

Enough of this. Please stop this nonsense. It needlessly interrupts workflow.

Thanks,
