With my job, I define a few task. Within those tasks, I define a job to SSH to a device. I then write another task to write to a file the output of the SSH cmd. The write to the file uses the previous task SSH output from the TASK ID StdOut command.

Here where the issue starts. If I copy and paste the job, it breaks all of the write to file tasks that I have defined (because it is still referencing the task ID StdOut from the previous jobs. Seems like a bug, because I would think that when one copy and pastes a job, then we would hope that when the new tasks are created (as part of the copy process) it would update dynmically, any references when writing or the old job task to the new ones.

We cannot guess exactly what you want even though it might sound simple. However, to get around this and make the solutions more generic you should use dynamic Variables instead of hard coding id's.

For example:

[{TASK(PrevTask,StdOut)}

or

{TASK(Active,StdOut)}

I knew I was missing something simple. Thanks for those cmds. This will help a lot.
