This is not a bug. In FlexSim 2018, task executers now default to having a reset position, which includes the object's location, rotation, size, and container.

What is happening is that you are copying the robot, but not changing the reset position of the copy. So when you reset the model, it sets the copy's position back to the original's position.

You can explicitly set an object's reset position by calling setresetposition() and passing the object. For example, to fix your issue, you can call:

treenode copy = createcopy(model().find("Plane3/Robot1"),model().find("Plane4"));
setresetposition(copy);
