Open a terminal and type the following command:

plank --preferences

Then go to the Behavior tab, see switcher button below, turn off lock icon

It worked for me.

1. Ensure ‘Lock Icons’ in your settings is off:

(at bottom right)

2. Ensure your `<Application>.dockitem` (whereever you prepare it before copying) is pointing to a `.desktop` file contains at least a minimal set like so:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/someApp -someParameter
Name=My Fancy App
Icon=/home/jacob/Thema/icon/ubu.png
Type=Application
StartupNotify=False

These are the two most common issues to the best of my knowledge. Then, copying over (or: dragging in) should work.
