Error description

• In IBM Rational Rose, if you copy two classes with their
  association from one class diagram to another class diagram and
  then delete these elements in the second class diagram, the
  relationship's multiplicity values will disappear from the first
  class diagram.
  
  The following steps reproduce the problem:
  
  1. Create two classes
  2. Add a new class diagram to the model
  3. Drag the two classes onto the 'Main' class diagram
  4. Draw an association between the two classes
  5. Double click the association and select '1' from the Role A
  Detail ? Multiplicity drop down box
  6. Click the Role B Detail tab, select 'n' from the Multiplicity
  drop down box, and click OK
  Result: The 'n' and '1' appear on the relationship in the 'Main'
  class diagram, as expected
  7. Multi-select all the diagram elements on the Main diagram and
  press CTRL + C
  8. Open the new class diagram and press CTRL + V to paste the
  selected elements
  9. Multi-select all the diagram elements in the new class
  diagram and press the 'Delete' key (You can also right click the
  multi-selected elements and select Edit ? Delete from the
  context menu)
  10. Open the Main class diagram
  
  Expected Result: There is no change in the diagram or in any of
  its elements.
  
  Actual Result: The association's multiplicity values have been
  deleted.
  
  There is no workaround to this problem.
