Add Copy/Paste to Tasks, Subtasks, Checklists, and Tables

Please add the copy & paste shortkeys CTRL+C and CRTL+V as well as a right-click or dropdown option to copy/paste. All of these ClickUp features need it to function:
- Tasks
- Subtasks
- Checklists
- Rows
- Columns
- Cells and tables inside a task (like Excel)

WOW - WHAT I WOULD DO TO HAVE THIS FEATURE!!!!
this is SOOOO cumbersome to have to manually check select items, then manually update their custom field. it would be a GOD SEND to be able to select a "cell", copy a field (or a cell), highlight where we want to "paste", and simply do so.
the table view is SUPPOSED to allow this - but it breaks and never seems to work (it seems to 'copy' and 'paste', but the paste doesnt stick - as soon as i refresh, it disappaears).
can someone at clickup confirm if this is supposed to happen in table view?

Adding to this thread as well that we have formatting issues when copying and pasting from Outlook/Microsoft Word into the descriptions of cards. It does not keep the correct formatting of text/bullets and will often add in extra line spacing between text. I would love at a minimum to be able to CTRCopyingL+C and CTRL+V subtasks onto other cards.

This is such a productivity killer. Please add a way to quickly copy fields without using the clunky bulk editor.

This has been open 2 years and had no official word from ClickUp - is there any potential we can get this added to be able to copy data out or into independent columns in Clickup and have it pasted over multiple task rows, rather than pasting all the data onto one row?

Copying and Pasting Tasks from a Spreadsheet to ClickUp would be wonderful.

It is so bizarre to me that this isn't possible. It is such a basic functionalityI should be able to copy a table from anywhere in ClickUp and paste it even outside of ClickUp.

I am surprised a simple basic feature of copy and paste that predates the World Wide Web and was requested two years ago has yet to be added.

Please. This makes Checklists nearly useless.

May 2025 and still no Copy/Paste. It's a sham...I mean it's a shame.

I can copy text into a table, but not within the table. This needs to be fixed, it is super basic. (actually at this point I am genuinely, truly, intently curious why this wasn't included. This is the most basic of functions before colorizing the table, etc. Honestly if anyone knows why this wasn't included, please let me know. I'm not mad, just boggled)
