Not true. All text boxes already allow pasting copied text via the standard Ctrl+V sequence. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+A work too.
Simply, you can't copy and paste quests.
Also not true. You can copy any quest by right-clicking it, and choosing "Copy ID". Then right click elsewhere and choose either "Paste Quest" or "Paste Quest Link", depending on whether you want a new quest or just a link to an existing quest.

Description
I am using FTBQuests for Fabric 1.19.2 and I found there's a serious capability that is missing, and that is copy and paste. This comes in two forms: for quests, and within quests.
Let's start with what I mean by "within quests" because that's more intuitive. All text boxes within quest creation do not allow for copy and pasting. This is especially an issue for the command quest reward output. You make a quest that executes a command as a reward. When typing into the text box, it does not have the auto-fill feature like a normal command block, so trying to write the entire command from scratch is more difficult. So maybe you want to write it in a command block, then copy it and paste it in. Or maybe you are using a website for generating the command, and want to copy and paste it in. You can't. The text field for the command reward does not allow pasting. This is true for all text fields that I have found in the mod, with the exception of the quest descriptions. It is very frustrating and I am surprised this was not been fixed sooner.
The second variation of this issue, which I called "for quests", is less intuitive but a bigger issue for me personally. Simply, you can't copy and paste quests. Lets say I want to create 30 quests. All of these quests need to be repeatable and optional, the same dependencies, have an item input and a location input, and have an item output. The item input and output are changing, but everything else is the same. In order to do this, I need to go into the edit settings for all 30 quests and hit the optional and repeatable settings, add the dependencies, and then go into the quest and add the item input and output and locations, and fill out the 6 text boxes that define the location quest. That's a lot. It seems like there would be an easier way. But what if you could copy and paste? Well, I could create the one quest, select it by control-clicking it, control C to copy it, and control V to paste it 29 times. Now I have 30 identical quests, and I just need to go in and change the item input and outputs. So much easier.
Describe the solution you'd like
For the first part, pretty much just allow copy and paste keybinds (control A + control C, control V [or command instead of control on a mac]) to work in the text boxes in quests.
Got the second part, the ability to copy and paste quests (either with control C and control V, or by an in-menu function of right-clicking a selected quest and having a copy option) to create an exact duplicate of the quest with the exact same settings, inputs, outputs, etc. This would be a huge timesaver for making a bunch of very similar quests with minor changes.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I was thinking about using a reward table for quest grouping, but that still really doesn't solve the issue.
