Wearables preset creates new actor

I have saved a wearables preset - hair and clothing. When I select the character in the scene and double-click the wearables preset, instead of attaching the hair and clothing, Daz creates a new character in the scene with that hair and clothing.
The wearables preset is labeled "wearable(s)," not "Actor," and I tried several times to be sure I have selected the actor - the same actor who has worn this preset before.
I successfully applied wearables to other actors in the scene, so I'm baffled. Is there some wearables parameter or step I'm overlooking?.Thanks!

Was the human figure parented to something else when you saved?
Oh yes, a figure group - that's the problem - thank you!
