"Clone interface" between projects not working

Hi,

Recently I tried to copy soap interface between projects using both context menu and Ctrl+drag'n'drop, but each and every time I ran into this error:

Wed Jul 02 10:05:36 CEST 2025:ERROR:java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "String.equals(Object)" because the return value of "com.eviware.soapui.impl.support.AbstractInterface.getTechnicalId()" is null

Anybody has any idea, how to make this work?
Thanks in advance
