Yea, that is rather annoying when you don't intend it. Especially since sometimes I only want to copy the Dynamic Selection rules to populate it with my own rules, not the ones that were in the initial policy. Then you have to go delete all of the rules and the time you saved copying the policy is lost spending it deleting the rules.
Yea, I'd definitely like the ability to at least choose whether to link to existing rules or make copies of all of them.
Of course that being said, I'd also love enhanced search selection in the dynamic node selection, like the adding of parenthesis for one!
Dynamic Selection of nodes in Compliance Policies needs parenthesis to control order of evaluation
Or the ability to import/export rules (or policies come to think of it)
Ability to export/import individual rules in compliance manager.
And, as you recently discovered, the ability to hide individual rules/policies
Give us the ability to "hide" Reports / Policies and Rules in Compliance Manager
