Creating object from relation editor doesn't use type or template

[Rubikscraft]

WHAT IS THE BUG

Objects created from the object relation editor do not use the object type and templates of the specified relation.

HOW TO REPRODUCE IT

• Create a new object type, lets call this T1
• Create a new template for T1, just make sure it has something
• Create a new object of any type, lets call this object O1
• Add an object relation to O1 with the object type restricted to T1, lets call this R1
• Create a new object from the R1 relation, lets cal this object O2
• O2 will not have type T1 and will not have used the single template for it

THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

• O2 will be of type T1 and have used the single template for T1

Does that match your expectations, or do you want to keep your bug report open?

That indeed looks like the problem I’m having, you can close this bug report then.
