Copy and Paste "Set Field By Name"

If a Set Field By Name script step that has had a target field set and then disabled is copied and pasted the value for the target field is reinstated.

To reproduce (using FMPA 10.0v1, OS X 10.5.7):

1. Create a new script
2. Set calculated values for both the target field and the calculated result
3. Uncheck the "Specify target field" check-box
4. Copy the script step to the clipboard and then paste it into the script

The previous selection for the target field is reinstated for the step pasted in.
