Ahh yes, thanks for posting those problems with trying to use the Add to all lists approach. It isn't a feature I use myself and I can see now what you mean by the issues. I agree it isn't ideal.

Not sure what else to suggest at this point. Even Copy to List wouldn't do what you want, because what if there was other items on that other list, they sitll wouldn't be kept in sync etc.

I think fundamentally it really does need special case functionality to support what you want. Perhaps a special device type of "Any device", so you still just have a single list. That wouldn't break the data model quite so badly.

I'll mull it over - previously I thought that the previous suggestions around Add to all lists might at least offer a "usable" workaround but that really only works if you don't plan to edit the lists.
