Steps To Reproduce 
This is a specific workflow
Create a PCO for a subcontractor
On the estimate/purchase details tab add vendor, SL, SL Item and amount AND add notes
At this point customer approves the PCO WITHOUT creating SL, but you do not need to.
Open PM Subcontract Change Orders
create a new SubCO for vendor/sl on the PCO
Go to Tasks, click Add Items from PCO Detail
Select your PCO and click OK 


Current Results

    OMG, this issue is extremely frustrating to us because our entire SCO process works off of the PCO Estimate/Purchase Detail Line item adding to the SubCo Item level.  We have been working with VP for 2 months to fix the issue that they caused since we upgraded from 6.10.7 to 6.12  but we aren't getting anywhere.
