Cannot copy bone animations

Hello,

today I started to work with Anime Studio 10 pro, on mac at my workplace. I encountered a very strange phenomenon, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or is it a bug. I wanted to copy some keyframes on a bone layer, but it did not let me paste it. It's very strange, because if I'm copying a layer rotation or a translate keyframe, there is no problem, it doeas it perfectly. Only on the bone layer it refuses to copy and paste keyframes.
I also tried it on the preset bunny animation, and there was no problem with it, I could copy and paste bone animations there. Can anyone please help me? I'm not sure if it's a bug, or just maybe there is some setting I don't know about.

Thank you very much in advance!

have you bones hidden?
There's a problem when you hide a bone which had keyframes selected. That keyframes, even when not visible, still being copied and pasted (some times at distant frames). If that is your problem, try unselecting all keyframes before hiding bones.

Thank you for your advice, however unfortunately that's not the case, they are not hidden What is also very weird, that on there is a sub-bone layer, on which I can copy keyframes with no problem. I'm totally lost here.

I tried one more thing: I copied keyframes from the sublayer, and pasted it on the main layer, and it did it. So it looks like there is problem with the copying of the frames - like it's somehow locked, but I can't find it where.

Well, today I redone the bone system, and now it works fine. I have no idea what happened, could it be that the rig was made in an earlier version of anime studio?

Oh, probably. In earlier versions bones had no name by default. I think AS uses the bone's name to copy and paste.
