Breaks When Two Matrix Components are on an Entry
Describe the bug
We have a Hero Builder and a Content Builder on our Entries like so:
But now when we click on either type in the Hero Builder, nothin happens
Also the Paste doesn't really work when copying from the same Content Builder component on another page.
Steps to reproduce
- add 2 matrix fields with multiple blocks
- copy block to new page
- try adding a new block manually to the non-copied block
Craft CMS version
Craft Pro 4.5.11.1
Plugin version
2.0.0
Multi-site?

What's that UI above the Matrix block buttons? Another plugin, custom field, or something? It's not something I've seen before.
EDIT: Ah, this seems like it's the Batch Actions plugin. Is this a Smith issue?
That would be Batch Actions. I use that along with Matrix Mate to add some nice AX touches. Smith looks like it integrates pretty well with it.
Yep, you got it. But yes Smith is breaking the hero builder field. Once I turned it off the hero Builder started working again.
It's not a deal breaker as word on the street is that Smith-like functionality is coming to Craft 5. So if it's too big of a lift to get everything about Smith working, then I can wait too. I just like the idea of being able to easily clone matrix data. But not sure if the reward is worth the effort.
Thanks Josh!
Hmm, so copy-paste across entries seems to be working okay for me, but then I probably need to test in combination with Matrix Mate and Batch Actions, in case there's some conflict there.
But yes, it's probably going to be largely no longer required in Craft 5, but waiting for the dev preview to settle on that one before making a final decision. Also seems like Batch Actions might do a better job anyway!
Yeah but Batch Actions doesn't copy/paste. i did find it interesting that BA and Smith played nicely together though. Although the functionality didn't work. But BA placed the Smith commands in as part of BA. If that makes sense. I didn't test Smith out by itself as BA does a bit more of what our clients like.
That sounds good about C5 and hopefully that all will be decided soon. Thanks for looking into this as i know you're quite the busy guy these days 🎉
Oh, I thought it did, based on the screenshot above, but I see what Batch Actions is doing - neat!
Haha, no worries. It is a pretty nifty little plugin. If you had time to sort out the issue I'd love to see it. No biggie either way. Thanks again for all that you do!
