[Feature Request]: Copy value labels from one variable to another #2896

Closed maximusmontis closed 2 weeks ago

maximusmontis commented 2 weeks ago

Description

I am currently working with a very large dataset containing lots of yes/no questions as well as Likert scale questions, which often have the same answer options. I am in the process of adding value labels to all variables, which is very time-consuming. Currently, there seems to be no way to copy assigned value labels from one variable to another. This significantly increases the necessary workload when preparing large datasets.

Purpose

Reduce necessary workload when entering value labels in large datasets

Use-case

Preparation of any dataset in general, but especially relevant for large datasets

Describe the solution you would like

I suggest implementing a way to copy value labels from one variable to another, so the labels must only be entered manually once. Alternatively, a way to mass-apply the labels could also be considered (e.g., first selecting all relevant variables, entering the desired labels once, which are then applied to all selected variables).

Describe alternatives that you have considered
