Limits and bug with paste linked data objects in Prism.
Prism 6 introduced a new feature: linked data objects. You can copy any block of data or results, and then paste link (or paste transpose link) onto a Prism data table in the same project. If you copied from a data table, you can paste link into a different part of the same table, or onto a different data table. The pasted values will be in a box (with a blue border if from a data table, and a red or green border if copied from results). You won't be able to edit these values, but they will update if the corresponding data or results are changed. See two examples of how this is useful.
Limitation: Prism lets you paste link up to 100 objects onto each data table. Each time you paste an object it can have any number of rows and columns.
Bug: There is a bug in Prism Mac up to 6.0e. You can unlink a data object and all seems to go fine. Those values become regular values that you can edit in the data table and are no longer linked to another table. But there is a problem. The next time you paste link an object, that new data object will paste ok but some other pasted object will probably become unlinked.
