Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.0.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2021-06-17 00:06, hash: c73be23e17
Tested on 2.93 build as well.

Short description of error
Layer settings in grease pencil does not copy over to the new object on "Separate Points". Everything else copies correctly, like the modifier and effects. However the layer settings for the points doesn't copy over such as the colour, opacity and masks.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Using the attached Blend file

Select any points in Grease Pencil Edit mode.
Press "P", -> Separate Points. Can be any of the options here really.

Everything Turns black because the layer settings such as colour, opacity, masks aren't copied over.

Ah sorry, couldn't help but notice that some of the other settings may not be copied over.

The Transform (.location)
Use lights setting (.use_lights)
Masking (.use_mask_layer, and the the layer masks)
Relations (.parent, .parent_type, .pass_index, .viewlayer_render)

Unless I'm mistaken, these settings are missing as well?

Example of the Relations and transforms

Hi @antoniov Thanks for your bug fix earlier. However I just tested on the newest master (hash: 3da25dc625) and yes unfortunately it looks like some settings aren't copied over.

Masking (.use_mask_layer, and the the layer masks)
Use lights setting (.use_lights)

Tested that the colours worked though, great that its working now.

For Masking...uuumm..not good idea. There are a lot of situations when duplicating the Mask layers can go wrong. If you want copy Mask layers, better duplicate the object and delete what you don't need, but in separate operator is not good idea.

I'm going to recheck lighting... I was sure I had fixed that.

Which situations could mask layers cause issues?

Just tested on normal vertices. It seems like if you separate vertices from a 3D object, it copies pretty much everything. Including the rigs, the vertex groups, vertex colours, and shape keys.

It'd probably should be the same for Masks? At least if you have the mask layer selected as well.

@kfoong I think the commit fae5a907d4 does what you want.
