Copy Product feature does not retain the original Default Attribute

[[email protected]]

We just finished duplicating a lot of products and found out during the process that our default attribute was not retained. All of the attributes are there, but the drop down list just starts at the top of the list. We manually edited each product because I couldn't figure out another way to do this. I'd appreciate anybody's comments on what I might have been able to do to workaround.

Would be nice if this could be a fix on a future update.
