I’m having the same problem. Running Firefox 3.5.4 (running update to 3.5.6 now) and Flock 2.5.2 using WordPress 2.9 with WAMPSERVER.
My guess is it’s a javascript error… but I couldn’t say for sure. I’m not a big javascript debugger.
In, IE when duplicating a group, the group appears to be duplicated, but these errors appear:
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in [path]\wp-settings.php on line 646
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in [path]\wp-settings.php on line 661

It’s quite possible they’re not related, but maybe that will help point you in the right direction.
Hi, tanks for the reply.
I’m using Wp 2.9
Strangely, the problem has gone away, without any modifications to the wp install, or the plugin.
The only change has been that firefox has been restarted, and duplications are working fine!
Weird…
I have the same problem. I disabled all other plugins, but I still get it. In FF I see in the bottom left of the window “javascript:void(0);” and nothing happens when I click “Duplicate Field”. Duplicating groups is fine, duplicating fields isn’t working. WP 2.9.1
After deciding to go through the Magic Fields code this morning, I figured this thing out. The problem is Magic Fields can’t handle the use of dashes in your custom image field name. Looking through the [magic-fields\js\custom_fields\image.js code, you’ll see it splits the field id by a dash to remove the first bit.
Anyway, the workaround is to not use dashes in your custom image field name. I assume this will also fix being unable to duplicate fields and groups.
Devs for Magic Fields, please validate the custom field name for dashes or fix the javascript to account for dashes in the custom field name.
Thanks.
hello Spencersokol
you are right, in the new versión of magic fields this issue of the images will be fixed,
Magic Fields team, you guys rock the planet. @spencersokol, you rock the universe thanks to your workaround.
I agree with @chrisbratlien! Thanks @spencersokol — and THANK YOU Magic fields.
We’re having the same issue -where Magic Fields isn’t duplicating – and it only seems recent. There are no dashes in the field names. We’ve disabled all plugins and it still won’t work. The funny thing is we have a duplicate environment on the same server and that one works so we’re lost as to what would kill it?
