Hello everyone
A client sent me an SDLXLIFF file in which certain segments were auto-translated (origin "AT"). When I select these segments and select to copy source to target, the "AT" origin disappears. I do not want that to happen. If I simply edit such a segment, the AT origin remains.

Hello everyone
A client sent me an SDLXLIFF file in which certain segments were auto-translated (origin "AT"). When I select these segments and select to copy source to target, the "AT" origin disappears. I do not want that to happen. If I simply edit such a segment, the AT origin remains. I don't understand the logic behind removing the AT origin when I copy source to target using a shortcut, but retaining it when I copy source to target manually, but anyway: is there a way I can prevent this origin change?
Or, is there a way to change the origin of a segment to "AT" manually? If so, then I can mark these segments from e.g. draft to e.g. "translation rejected", then copy source to target, then mark them as "AT", and then mark them as "draft" again.
The same thing happens when there is a fuzzy match -- when I use "copy source to target", the fuzzy match origin (and the match percentage) disappears!
Or, do you know of a way to select all text in the source field of a segment (so that I can script the manual copying of text)? Ctrl+A only selects the text in the target field of the segment that you had visited previously, even if the cursor is in the source field of another segment. The shortcuts Home and End in the source field only moves the cursor to the start or end of the *line*, not the start or end of the segment.
