I’m having an issue when cloning images from another project where the annotations don’t clone. If I click on the images within the Dataset, the thumbnails show the annotations but if I click on the image to in large, the annotations are gone.

If I go to Classes & Tags, the new Class Name appears but when I “edit keypoints” no keypoints show.

Project Id: pickleball-court-detection-dqhrj

When I clone images with the same class name as one that I have created, the annotations are predicted and are not correct.

Thanks for your help.

Hi @Mark_Nigh!  
Apologies for the inconvenience! To help me triage, do you give Roboflow Support permission to access your workspace?

Yes, please. Thank you. Let me know if I need to do anything on my end.

The job in questions is “Clone on 8/1/2025 from val-aospz/court keypoint” and “Clone on 8/1/2025 from testworkspace-i8nb1/pickle-court-keypoints”

Hi @Mark_Nigh!  
Unfortunately, I was unable to replicate this issue with the datasets in question. I was able to clone the images with all annotations intact.

I suggest recloning the images into your dataset. If you run into the issue again, please provide screenshots with your dev console displayed so I can use the error message to pinpoint the root cause.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Before I try to clone the images again, I do want to show you 2 screenshots. the first is a list annotated images (that were cloned) from clicking on the job in the dataset.

 ![screenshot - annotate list](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/roboflow1/original/2X/1/1b06f8a27a04111209b5355340066fc74d6a0a6e.jpeg)t

the images have the keypoint annotations in this list but when I click on a image, the annotations are gone. Is this correct behavior?

when i press the back on the annotation menu, the annotations are gone in the list.

Any chance I can send a video of the process I am using to clone the images from another repo into my project? This forum doesn’t allow for .mp4 uploads but I think that will aid you in seeing what the issue is and if I am following the correct process in do so.
