How do I fully copy an UML Transition shape ?

[Hadrien]

I created an UML state diagram with Visio 2003 SP3. Every Transition shape
holds an Event name.

Every time I copy/paste one of those Transition shape, the pasted Transition
Event is lost, I have to manually reassign it.

That is very frustrating when you have to copy a big part of a diagram. I
have to reassign back every Event, without doing any error.

Is there a way to keep the assigned Event when performing a copy/paste of a
Transition shape ?

I don't think that is possible. The transition shape doesn't hold an
event name, the shape contains a reference which the UML addon
recognises, the addon then sets the transition shape's text.
When a transition is copied/pasted the addon appears to recognise the
dropped shape and clears the reference to the transition. Even
Ctrl-drag does the same.
