No I am not, we are using 1.1.8 atm.

I ended up doing what you suggest but it took a while as there were 20~ sub directories, but i dont understand why it differentiates the 'copied' target versions in that respect but treats them all the same i.e. just as test when doing a filter? Surely it can treat them as text as a bulk update as well? 

Basically the bulk update is only of any use when 'viewing' faults in a leaf node or if you happen to select faults from the same project at a higher level.
