Description:
There is a master table with a primary key. I created the detail table and copied the primary key column of the master table into the detail table to act as a foreign key. In the Master table the column had the attributes PK, NN and AI which I removed in the details table by clicking the appropriate checkboxes. However, when synchronising the model with the database the column still has the AI attribute und thus table creation fails.

Even restarting MySQL Workbench has no effect on this behavior.

As I can't find any link to upload the log file I have copied the relevant part here (please note the column named `VerleihperiodeID`):

SQL Code:
        CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `bringadb`.`VerleihArtikel` (

        DEFAULT CHARACTER SET = utf8

How to repeat:
Model -> Add Table (Details table)
Model -> Edit 'Table' in new Tab... (open Master table)
In the new table add columns. Then go to master table, select the primary key column, right-click and select Copy from the context menu. Then go back to the new details table, right-click and click on Paste. The column will be copied with all its attributes. Click on the checkbox under AI so that it is unchecked.
Save the Model (Ctrl-S) and select Database -> Synchronize Model... from the main menu.

In the resulting CREATE TABLE statement the copied column still has the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute and the statement fails with the message that only one column can be AI.

Sorry Miguel, I'm obviously a lousy searcher. I searched but did not find the earlier report on this bug.
