Copying a cell with synapses leads to unexpected behaviour #564

Closed sg-s closed 3 years ago

sg-s commented 3 years ago

The synapse object is copied, since it is contained in a compartment
but the synapse is dangling and doesn't actually connect to anything

possible fixes

give up, note this in the documentation where no one will see it
somehow prevent copy from copying synapses
prevent compartments from adding cpplab objects that contain synapses
