When you copy the table downward, the field is still linked to the attributes from the original block above. You have to either relink it, or create a new one that is linked to the new block below.

Try using BATTMAN on your new block. Maybe needs to be re-synced up.

 

Thanks, JRR!

I am thinking the same as @Blue_Mojito , your field is still linked to the original entity, you would need to update the object ID.

What I need is to automatically link to the attributes of the copied block, instead of remaining associated with the attributes of the original block.

 

Just like when an attribute block is set with fields and then copied into a new block, the fields can update and correspond to the new block.

My requirement is that the original table updates synchronously with the original block, and the newly copied table updates synchronously with the newly copied block. This works just like the fields set in an attribute block: after copying, they will update in conjunction with the new attribute block automatically.

Is this a bug?

The TABLE entity cannot be managed with BATTMAN, so this command has no effect on TABLE tables.

Hope Autodesk improves the field function of tables, so that fields in TABLE can automatically synchronize and update with newly copied blocks, and the original table and new copied tables do not interfere with each other.

Not sure if it is a bug.  What happens if you create a piece of text that links to the block. Then copy the block and the text and update the block?  I almost expect that it will update, and if that is the case, I would think that maybe the field in the table doesnt update the same way a piece of text updates.

Hi, is it an option to make a block containing the table and the target of the field?

Also have you already looked into using DATAEXTRACTION?
