Create work item from a template -error

Hello,

we have a customer using CCM 4.0.4. I need to create  for them a work item from a template.
The template is a User story which has the following particularities: it uses 4 children and 24 Copies. Each of them being actually another user story.
The process of creating the template run smoothly and I could save it properly.
Nevertheless, when trying to create a new WI from:  Work Item/New/Create Work Item from the template I have gotten this error: Cannot create work items specified by the template. Validation errors for item: type=AuditableLink, itemID=[UUID_Iff...]. Value of attribute "targetRef.comment" is 262 bytes, which is greater than the allowed encoded lenghts of 250 bytes. [Link URI Details: Link type id: com.ibm.team.workitem.linktype.copiedworkitem.]

I thoughts  initially that there is an issue with thie US and I have created a very simple one without any children or links. The same error (only the size is now different for the attribute 300 bytes).

I have had a look at the Configuration Data/Work Items/Types and Attributes/ Story but I haven't found any attribute with the name targetRef.
 
Any clue on how to solve this out?

Thank you,
Zica

My guess is that the problem is the

<rtc_cm:com.ibm.team.workitem.linktype.copiedworkitem.copies>
type=AuditableLink... Link URI Details: Link type id: com.ibm.team.workitem.linktype.copiedworkitem.]

block.

targetRef is the internal program variable name, so you won't see at anywhere
I don't know what is considered the 'comment' variable. the template XML has a group of copies elements inside a copies element.

I have added the xml file from the template created.
Not sure where to look for the Value of attribute "targetRef.comment as I can't found it in this xml file:
