Automation question

Anything that doesn't fit into other topics goes here!
I may have asked this before, I am not sure, but I want to raise the topic again, just pointing out that I am using 1.2.0 Release Candidate 3.

In this video, I have avoided using automation because the data in the automation blocks do not copy. I have been wondering if there is a way to workaround this...besides having to edit each automation block individually. If anyone wants an example of what I am referring to, please tell me and I will post a video as soon as I can...provided that, at the time I am posting this, things do not go wrong.

Under 5 minutes later:
https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/pull/3382
I am aware *this* happens to be a thing, but I am wondering if it happens to be related.

A little under 5 more minutes later:
So, I found the previous post where I was *clearly* told copying automation is not possible in the Release Candidates. (D'oh!), so I just have 1 additional question in place: This sounds meta, but even knowing this current Release Candidate does not support automation copy, are there other workarounds, like using earlier versions first, even though that sounds ridiculous? I know this sounds desperate, but I am just wondering, at this point.

No, i describe the bug before the merge of 3382.

Both installations will attempt to use the same configfile, and that will be a problem
Cant recommend that, unless you use two different pc's.
