Hello,

There is a bug into the 'webadmin' module, when i try to 'Clone' a user it doesn't update and sync in the Network tab the Nickname and Alt. Nickname values.

It should sync when i press before the Clone and Continue down button the given IRC Informations with the Network Info

Check this video: https://goo.gl/uv6ZoR

Thanks!

I'm not certain this can classify as a bug. Perhaps an interesting twist on how things work, but not a bug.

The idea is that you are cloning a user as-is, and when a network is created from scratch for a user it 'inherits' the nickname from the "User" defaults, but it then sets it per-network rather than auto-using the defaults from the main "User" level object.

What you're seeing is the network-level object being copied over as is as its own item; this then sets its nick independently from the user defaults. (There are some of us that have many nicks on different networks, but not the same one on all nets; this caters to such users)
