Build option export to different workspace - problem

Question

Hi All,
I have a page with two regions. Logically, the two regions are mutually exclusive, only one should ever appear. I've created a build option called "Simulated Login" and set the build option of region 1 to "{Not Simulated Login}" and the build option of region 2 to "Simulated Login". When I run the page and the build option is excluded, I see only region 1. When the build option is included, I see only region 2.
I have a problem when I export my application to another workspace. Region 2's build option is still set the same as the original application, but region 1's build option is not set after the import - it should be "{Not Simulated Login}" but instead it is blank. Now, when I run the page and the build option is excluded, I see only region 1 and when it's included, I see both regions.
In the meantime I'll create another build option as the obvious workaround - I'll just have to make sure that I keep the two build options set to the opposite of eachother!

For anyone that's interested, I think I've got it...
In the export file I can see the build option:
--application/shared_components/logic/build_options/simulated_login
wwv_flow_api.create_build_option (
  p_id=> 123207604215572408 + wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
  p_flow_id=> wwv_flow.g_flow_id,
  p_build_option_name=> 'Simulated Login',
  p_build_option_status=> 'EXCLUDE',
  p_default_on_export=>'EXCLUDE',
  p_build_option_comment=> 'When this build option is enabled...');And the two regions:
wwv_flow_api.create_page_plug (
  p_id=> 123523626092022134 + wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
  p_flow_id=> wwv_flow.g_flow_id,
  p_page_id=> 101,
  p_plug_name=> 'Region 1',
  p_region_name=>'',
  p_plug_template=> 239523132600564333+ wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
  p_plug_display_sequence=> 10,
  p_plug_display_column=> 3,
  p_plug_display_point=> 'AFTER_SHOW_ITEMS',
  p_plug_source=> s,
  p_plug_source_type=> 'STATIC_TEXT',
  p_translate_title=> 'Y',
  p_plug_query_row_template=> 1,
  p_plug_query_headings_type=> 'COLON_DELMITED_LIST',
  p_plug_query_row_count_max => 500,
  p_plug_display_condition_type => '',
  p_plug_customized=>'0',
  p_plug_caching=> 'NOT_CACHED',
  p_required_patch=> '-123207604215572408' + wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
  p_plug_comment=> '');
wwv_flow_api.create_report_region (
  p_id=> 123527026425025070 + wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
  p_flow_id=> wwv_flow.g_flow_id,
  p_page_id=> 101,
  p_name=> 'Region 2',
  p_region_name=>'',
  p_template=> 239523132600564333+ wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
  p_display_sequence=> 20,
  p_display_column=> 3,
  p_display_point=> 'AFTER_SHOW_ITEMS',
  p_source=> s,
  p_source_type=> 'SQL_QUERY',
  p_display_error_message=> '#SQLERRM#',
  p_customized=> '0',
  p_translate_title=> 'Y',
  p_query_row_template=> 239534019006572870+ wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
  p_query_headings_type=> 'COLON_DELMITED_LIST',
  p_query_desc_image_attr=> 'width="10" height="11" alt=""',
  p_plug_query_strip_html=> 'Y',
  p_required_patch=> '123207604215572408' + wwv_flow_api.g_id_offset,
  p_comment=>'');The build option has the ID: 123207604215572408 + wwv_flow_api.g_id_offsetRegion 1 has the parameter: p_required_patch=> '-123207604215572408' + wwv_flow_api.g_id_offsetRegion 2 has the parameter: p_required_patch=> '123207604215572408' + wwv_flow_api.g_id_offsetSo the {Not <Build Option Name>} is stored as the negative of the build option ID. I manually changed the export file so that Region 1 has the parameter:p_required_patch=> '-123207604215572408' - wwv_flow_api.g_id_offsetSo I subtract the offset for the build option on Region 1. Then I imported it and it worked correctly.
Think this is a bug in Apex!
