Duplicating chart with objects to different chartbook

If Chartbook one has many objects on, from a range of charts, and are linked, i.e. all objects are replicated within the allocated numbered charts

And I duplicate a chart with these objects on to another chartbook, and in that chartbook they are also all linked via their number, why do all the linked objects not copy from Chartbook 1? All that Sierra does at the moment is only copy over the objects which were CREATED on the chart. Which is unfair, given that the chart the user can see contains all the desired objects to carry over to new chartbook.

Working example:

Chartbook 1:

Charts 1-10 are linked
Charts 1,5,8 have rectangles on. Thus Charts 1-10 each have 3 rectangles on.
I duplicate chart 6 to Chartbook 2
Chartbook 2 has 5 charts, and in the link settings, I am accounting for chart 6 to also be linked. So under Advanced settings 2, 'Copy Chart Drawings from #', I have put 1,2,3,4,5,6 in there
Duplicated chart opens as chart 6. However does not bring the objects it has displayed on it over from charttbook 1

This description is kind of confusing to us.

When you are duplicating a chart to another Chartbook, the chart number arrangement is going to be different. Therefore, you will need to update the Copy Chart Drawings from # setting. And these drawings are going to come from the Chartbook where the chart is located.

It is supported to copy drawings from other Chartbooks. Refer to the documentation for this here:
