If what you mean is that you find yourself entering the same thing for sets of books at different times, then store that somewhere so you can cut and paste. Or use a clip manager to make them easy to find and paste.

Is there an easy way to cut and paste into all the appropriate fields?

In my journals library I have a number of 'empty' books with common values for the columns I frequently want to copy - I make sure I'm in the VL that has those 'books' before I add journal items.

I already copy and paste metadata for multiple pdf formats for existing books. Since the publisher's formats are rarely Kindle-compatible, I tend to batch-process pdf books using k2pdfopt and/or ghostscript, and I sometime have to try more than one pdf format to find a good result. In that context, I want to copy everything except my user-created columns #status and #processing. Unless I can configure different versions of copy metadata for different tasks, I'm going to keep that version.
Thank you both.
