Ability to copy items in checklist field and paste into anther

It would be really nice if I can copy the item lists in a checklist field of an App and paste it in another checklist field of a different App. It would save a lot of my time in retyping everthing again.

I have this issue when I create an automation to copy a "template" record to create an active "task" record. I'd like the option to copy a full checklist from my template record but I don't think this is possible currently. The same with subitems. thanks!

Ian Tam We have found a good solution for your request to copy checklist items and will be starting on this next week. The quickest way for us to enable this is from the Grid View. You will be able to click into a checklist cell and copy the contents and then paste into another cell. Will this cover your use case?

Jon Darbyshire: Thank you for looking into this so quickly. Your suggestion would certainly and greatly help with existing records. But for yet to be created records, we also need to set it in the field level rather than cell level. My current problem is I have to retype 10 lines of items (or copy and paste line by line 10 times) in the check list field when moving from one App to another. And I have 4 checklist fields to do. That's a lot of retyping or copy and paste. Hence a copy and paste of the whole list of items option is put forward.
