Blank page number when copying/pasting sheets

Description

When pasting a hierarchical sheet instance, the page number information is removed (it is blank instead). This in turn results in the page number not being editable (trying to change the page number when originally it was blank has no effect).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the Schematic Editor
  2. Add a Hierarchical sheet (Hotkey S)
  3. Call the sheet "sheet 1"
  4. Select the hierarchical sheet and copy it (Ctrl + C)
  5. Paste (Ctrl + V) the copied hierarchical sheet
  6. Open the properties (Hotkey E) of the newly pasted sheet and note that the page number is blank (screenshot below).
  7. Attempt to change the page number (e.g. page "7"), press "OK".
  8. Open the properties (Hotkey E) again and note that the page number is still blank.
