Text Input Tool - Paste Multiple Cells

[Toddwithee]

Support richer copy/paste functionality within the text input tools.  Specifically allowing multiple records to be pasted at one time when bringing in lists from an unsupported file sources.  

Currently when multiple rows or cells are selected and copied.

   

Only 1 value is copied into the text input record:

 

Adding and selecting multiple rows results the same - only 1 record pasted.

I get the same results when I use the Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V. However, if I use the paste button at the top of the Text Input Configuration window, the source cell arrangement is retained for me.

Yup that totally works, I hadn't tried anything besides the keyboard shortcuts.   Thanks!

Thank you for suggesting this! We are making several improvements to paste within the Text Input, including this.

I'm trying to copy 2000 records from a text input tool and paste this in another input tool. I tried using the copy-and-paste options in the Text Input tool and tried Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V options. When I paste, I could paste only the first cell. Is holding and dragging the mouse and copying all the 2000 rows manually is the only option? Or is there any keyboard shortcuts? Thanks.
