[2.0.10] Unable to blueprint item request in real entity

[Necandum]

I am unsure whether this is intended behaviour.

If a ghost entity has an item request added (e.g a turret with 5 ammo requested), copy/bluprinting the turret ghost will also copy the request.
However, if a real entity with an item request is copied / bluprinted, the item request is lost.


What did you do?
Place turret with character. In map mode, add an item request by selecting red ammo, then right clicking 5 times in ammo slot of placed turret.
Copy turret. Ghost of copied turret does not contain requests for ammo. Request does not appear when turret placed eventually by bots.
Blueprint turret. Same behaviour as when turret is copied.

What happened?
Item request was lost.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I expect item requests to be copied / bluprinted the same for ghosts and real entities.

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
Always.

If I had to guess, this is to avoid real items inside an entity being blueprinted as requests.

However, being able to copy a ghost entity with an item request is a fantastic feature. Many thanks to those that implemented it.

Thanks for the report however this is not a bug but a feature request.
