Default Retaining Shape data from stencil to drawing?

Did you rename your new shape when you created it (goes to it having a name
the same as one that is already in the document stencil)?
If your custom shape is not being placed on the drawing (but rather the copy
in the document stencil), that could be reason for your customization not to
appear. (as well as the pointers to the datagraphics).

I have created a master shape in my Favorites stencil.

The shape contains shape data field plus the associated data graphic.

When I try to drag-and-drop the shape to my drawing it looses both
shape data graphics and fields. In addition the 'double click' to
enter data behavior is also lost.

If I drag the shape from the edit shape window to the drawing it
works.

What is going wrong?
