Feature Request - Copy and Paste to different band

edited July 2013 in General
Hi,

This may already be possible, (and if it is could you please explain how
to do it), but if not - can we please have an option to be able to copy
objects from one band, and then paste to another.

Situation as follows:

In a header band, I have a number of TppLines set vertically to separate
columns of fields. These components are set to parentheight.

When I select all the TppLines and choose Copy, I would like to be able
to then select the detail band (or a group band, or other), and choose
paste, and have the lines paste, in the same position on the other band.

At present, it pastes back into the same band it copied from, and
displaces to the right.

(In short, I would like a component to be pasted into whichever band I
have selected at the time, as opposed to it's source band, or
alternatively have an option to right-click on another band and choose
"paste into...") if possible.

It would vastly increase the efficiency of creating layouts that require
the same component across multiple bands.

Thanks & Regards

Adam.

    This will be added for RB 15.01.

    Thanks for the feedback. We recently added ability to paste to a selected
    Region, we can extend that logic to support pasting to a selected Band.
