In version 19.5.435, when I paste relative reference into Attribute Wrangle editor, the entire content of the VEXpression editor gets completely cleared out and replaced by relative reference in a single quotes.
Anyone experiencing the same issue ?

AFAIK, Houdini has always worked that way. You can click in the field to drop a cursor, and then right-click paste relative reference to add the expression to what is already there.

I RFE'd this last week. I'm using hotkeys for that operation and when i wanna paste foo * bar with two relative refs, it clears out and it's quite annoying. When i'm in the cursor mode, it should just paste the relative references and not the change whole channel

Yes, I'm experiencing this too. I only recently upgraded to version 19.5 from 18.5, and the behavior is indeed different. Not sure if that's my fault some way or not, but I'd love to know how to fix it.

Thanks,
Mary
