[Feature] Metadata copy paste #259

Closed CaptainStormfield closed 7 months ago

CaptainStormfield commented 8 months ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

Environment

Zotero Version: 7.0.0

Describe the feature request

It would be great if Actions Tags could replicate Zutilo's ability to copy and paste item metadata between items. For example, I frequently used the following when manually inputting metadata for items

Copy item fields, [copies all item fields] Paste into empty item field, [pastes only into item fields that don't have data] Paste all item fields, [pastes all copied item fields, overwriting if the target field isn't empty] Paste item type [pastes journal / newspaper / whatever]

Describe the solution you'd like

The solution is suggested in the feature request: scripts that can execute the indicated functions.

I've considered Zutilo as an alternative, but apparently, it isn't being actively developed.

Anything else?

Thank you for such a great tool!
