Copy and paste to other level

We are looking for a more surely permanent/practical approach.
There are many factors, and it’s hard to guess what relationship Revit is referring to without checking the groups and reading through the prompts that pop up. One example, for instance, is when you have components that require a two-level relationship. Not all, but some components won’t pass if you don’t have that second level above the roof. This is similar to when you try to copy a door to a different level where there is no wall to host it, or when you have a group of ceiling-based components that are pasted to a level without a ceiling to host them. Such elements may be automatically deleted, excluded from group or even cause the Paste to fail
There are some workarounds, such as adding a dummy level or a dummy ceiling ...etc and deleting it once you're done, but that’s not what I would call a permanent solution. The only approach I have found practical over the past few years is to define strict rules for what to do and what not to do, especially for groups, since they can sometimes misbehave.
There are many observations and articles about group behavior and best practices for workflows that extensively use groups at later stages in a project, such as in hospital and healthcare projects, hotels, schools, or similar modular concepts where groups may be practical.
