Problems copying document metadata

I am using K2 Studio to copy a document from one SharePoint 2010 library to another. I am setting up the process with the standard Process Helper feature in K2 studio so that every time a document is uploaded, it is copied over to the other library.


The copying of the document, and its standard metadata, goes smoothly. So does the copying of some custom metadata field that all have in common that they are fields with pre-defined values (choice and yes/no).


However, any other metadata fields are not copied over, EXCEPT for the first time after the process has been deployed to the server.


Does anyone have an idea on why this may be happening?

I figured it out (after a lot of trouble): I had to put a start rule on the activity in order to delay the copy event. This is because the process starts when the document is uploaded while the metadata is added to the item afterwards.
