copy paste properties between items

copy paste properties between items

Many times is much easier to copy paste content from one item to another in the properties.

Is it possible to do that? Today I can copy paste "title" or "decription" . 

This needs to be extended to properties also.

Thanks

Dan

This is possible. Select both files you want to copy and paste between (or 1 of them if they are in different folders).

Edit Properties (3 methods)

  • Ctrl + E
  • Edit menu > Edit Properties
  • Properties Panel on the right > Edit Properties button

You can then add fields and other files. Then Copy, Paste, Capitalize, Find, and Replace.

 

It's true that it's not a simple Copy Paste method but it's very powerful and you should check multiple properties are correct while you're there anyways.

--------------------------

ADDENDUM - I just realized that you said, items (not files). I don't use items in my vault so I can't test but hopefully the method above works.

This can be done at the file level, then run an Update Item command.
