Pin(s) already plugged in another view and it's not possible to create a connector in current view

Recently updated to E3 2020, and something that I have been doing for years with views in prior versions has either changed or broken.

Example Scenario:

I place a relay symbol, had have it setup with a mating connector setup for the relay socket.  I wire up the base symbols on the schematic just fine.

The issue now is I want to create a wire instruction for creating and wiring the relay socket on a new sheet within the same project for a pre-build instruction.

Normally I would just place a new view of the connector(s) involved, connect them, wire information would automatically populate from the previously created schematic and I would add / display the necessary attributes / instructions to explain how to create the assembly.

However, when I place the assembly view of the relay socket connector, and try to connect to it, I get "Pin(s) already plugged in another view and it's not possible to create a connector in current view" and it won't let me do what it used to do without issue.

How do I get E3 back to doing what it used to do?

  Maybe I should add, this particular view goes from individual pin symbols to mapping the pins to a representation of what the relay socket looks like to easy the assembly of the device.
