BUG? or simple inconsistency

I was using the word "locusts" in Mk 1:6 as my Context Menu Test.

1. Select the datatype version of Longacre genre; then select copy references: search. One gets {Section <LongacreGenre = Narr: Story>} -- note it already has the Section wrapping it.

2. Select the datatype of Literary typing; then select copy references: search. One gets <LiteraryTyping ~ Narrative, Gospel> -- note one has to manual add the Section wrap.

Please be consistent and add the Section where needed. This sort of inconsistency adds to the sense that the Search is impossibly difficult.

Thankfully, I don't use that, but the normal Search provides {Section <LiteraryTyping = Narrative, Gospel>}

IMO, adding "{Section ...}" around the text copied by "Copy Reference: Search" is a bug. The context menu command should copy the basic, minimum syntax that's required for specifying the reference in search. It's then up to the user to use {Section ...}, {Milestone ...}, or any other search extension with it.

Please be consistent and add the Section where needed.

This isn't always knowable ahead of time, so I'd prefer to never add the {Section ...} at all, and be consistent about copying just the base reference.

be consistent about copying just the base reference.

That is a satisfactory solution.

I endorse consistency.
