Duplicate an item moves it to the first artboard instead of current artboard

I work with Photoshop documents that contain many artboards inside and each has many elements included.

Before the upgrade to CC 2019, when I duplicated (CMD+J) any layer in an artboard, the copied layers would appear beside the original ones. The . I could move them elsewhere. Now the copied layers go to the first artboard. The first if you are looking at the document because it is placed at the top left upper corner. In the layers panel, it is the bottom one.

I use dozens of layers so by now I have to alt-click and drag to copy the layers but since I have so many layers this is not really handy for me.

Is this something new in the 2019 version that I can change back like the other great ideas they had, is it a bug or is it by design and I have to adapt my workflow to it?

Thank you.

Thanks - I was able to reproduce on Mac.

Yes, the cmd-J (ctrl + J) method with multiple layers (group + 1 contained layer) has also been fixed in development builds. The fix is in the pipeline.

Still having this issue. Quite shocking this hasn't been fixed yet.

Can you confirm your version of Photoshop? 20.0.1 has the fixes.

If you have 20.0.1, but are still having issues, I'll need more information; I'd like to build a reproducible case we can debug.

Hello, just in case it is interesting to you, I came across another problem that somehow is similar to this one in the fact that it places layers on top of the same artboard in the document when it happens. The artboard to me is "the first" since it is placed in the top left corner in the left. In the panel it is the bottom artboard. This time, it is not related to duplicating layers but with stroke color edition.

I am also having this issue, it is really killing my productivity.

Even Option dragging to the new layer icon still pastes to the first artboard.

There are two known bugs with layer duplication within an artboard. A fix is in the pipeline for both:

Layer Panel: Dragging a layer cell to the new layer icon at the bottom of the Layer Panel.
Duplicate Layers Dialog: selecting a layer and then using the main menu or context menu. If you duplicate to the same artboard (e.g. Artboard 1 to Artboard 1), the layer may duplicate to (hidden) canvas coordinates instead. Auto-nesting into another artboard may follow.

In the meantime, try Option-Drag to duplicate the layer, either on-canvas or in the Layer Panel.

You mention the cmd-J duplication method. This does not appear broken to me in CC 2019 (20.0). Can you confirm this is broken for you?

Hello, the ctrl + J (windows) seems to work fine when I duplicate only one layer.

I do experience the problem when duplicating a group, or when dragging a layer to the duplicate icon.

If I duplicate a group using ctrl+J, then the new group appears at the top of my layer stack in the first artboard.
