Export To setting when copying/pasting message bases

Hello g00r00!
Hope all is well with you!
I just noticed a small thing when copying (/C) and pasting (/P) message bases:
When first entering the copy of the message base (i.e., the pasted one), the Export To field shows the same setting as the original message base does, e.g. "1 node(s)":
█ Net Address │ 618:500/27 (Micronet) Autosigs │ Yes █
█ Export To │ 1 node(s) Private │ No █
But when actually "entering" the Export To setting, the list shows no
nodes:

When exiting the list and getting back to the message base settings,
Export To now shows "0 node(s)":
█ Net Address │ 618:500/27 (Micronet) Autosigs │ Yes █
█ Export To │ 0 node(s) Private │ No █
I believe the same thing happens if you enter the copied message base (the first time!), exit back to the list of message bases, and then re-enter the copied message base.
Perhaps the Export To setting could be updated before the message base settings are displayed?
(Not exporting a copied message base to any nodes makes sense, of course.)
Just thought I would mention this.
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards
Björn
