Expected Behavior
Copy transform from item within a group, then paste transform to another object should re-produce transform settings from source object.
Current Behavior
Copying a transform from an object within a group does not work and no or incorrect transform settings are applied to new object.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a color source object or item
- Apply a transform to the color source example: Position: 360x 90y, Size: 1600x900 Crop: 240,240,0,0
- Create a group and move the object into the group
- Create another color source or object
- Copy the transform from the first object within the group and paste transform to the second object outside the group
- Paste transform will not apply the correct settings
- Select source item within the group and press cntrl+e to edit transform and notice some transform setting are now incorrect.
- Move the source object out of the group or ungroup
- Copy and paste transform will now work
- Select the source item, press cntrl+e and the transform settings are back to normal.

Anything else we should know?
We use copy/paste transform extensively for positional reference, it helps to organize positional reference objects into groups, however we need to either un-group or move them out of the group before using the copy/paste transform.

Research direction
The report names no source files, entry points, or tests. Reproduce the issue in OBS 27.1.3 on Windows using the listed group, color-source, and copy/paste-transform steps, then trace the transform copy and paste behavior for grouped versus ungrouped items. Done means the pasted transform matches the source and editing the grouped source preserves its settings.
