Subject: Cloning versus copying

All,

What's the difference between cloning and copying, as in the following file?

%output=pdf

\setupinteraction
  [state=start]

\setupcolors
  [state=start]

\tracefieldstrue

\definesymbol[yes-a][$\times$]
\definesymbol[yes-b][$\star$]
\definesymbol[nop-a][$\bullet$]
\definesymbol[nop-b][$-$]

\definefield[example-1][radio][setup 1][ex-a,ex-b,ex-c][ex-c]
\definesubfield[ex-a,ex-b,ex-c][setup 1][yes-a,nop-a]

\setupfield [setup 1] [width=0.5cm,height=0.5cm,framecolor=red]
\setupfield [setup 2] [width=.75cm,height=.75cm]

 \copyfield[ex-a][ex-x]
 \copyfield[ex-b][ex-y]
 \copyfield[ex-c][ex-z]

 \clonefield[ex-a][ex-p][setup 2][yes-b,nop-b]
 \clonefield[ex-b][ex-q][setup 2][yes-b,nop-b]
 \clonefield[ex-c][ex-r][setup 2][yes-b,nop-b]

\showfields[example-1,ex-a,ex-b,ex-c,ex-x,ex-y,ex-z,ex-p,ex-q,ex-r]

\starttext

Hello, cruel world!

\hbox{\field[ex-a]\field[ex-b]\field[ex-c]}

\hbox{\field[ex-x]\field[ex-y]\field[ex-z]}

Some more text.

\hbox{\field[ex-p]\field[ex-q]\field[ex-r]}

\stoptext

I see no difference, and I can't think of a situation where I would want
either of these behaviors. Why is it that when I click in ex-q, the fields
ex-a,ex-b,ex-c, ex-z, ex-y, and ex-z revert to nop-a?
