Tag Copy/Paste

This plugin adds Copy and Paste functionality to the Tags input field with the goal of making it easy to copy Tags between objects, bulk load manually created tag lists, or load tag lists copied from AI tagger output.

Copy/Paste of Tags can be performed either with dedicated Copy/Paste buttons or by selecting the Tag input field and performing the typical CTRL+C/CTRL+V.

Copying will create a comma delimited list of all currently entered tags and put this on your clipboard.

Pasting will check your current clipboard for a comma and/or newline delimited string and add these as Tags, optionally creating any missing tags. Pasted tags will be checked against both primary Tag names and all aliases, comparisons are not case sensitive and allow “_” to be interpreted as a space.

Note: This plugin will prompt you to grant access to the clipboard. This must be granted in order for this plugin to work.

Config Options:

Create If Not Exists: If enabled, new tags will be created when pasted list contains entries that do not already exist. DEFAULT: Disabled
Require Confirmation: If enabled, user needs to confirm new tags being created. DEFAULT: Disabled

Refactors copy/paste event handlers to no longer be anonymous functions, so that… we can detach in order to prevent them from being attached multiple times. I'm not sure if it's some quirk of the UI itself or the plugin UI library, but the `PathElementListener` function was consistently triggering twice which was leading to this issue (only noticeable when copy/pasting into the control, not when clicking the copy/paste buttons).

Thanks for this awesome plugin. I just tried it out and it’s great!

I just had a little suggestion, reloading the window after pasting will clear out edited fields, it may be a good idea to inform the user beforehand. Either when detecting changes happened (save button isn’t greyed out), or by adding a new plugin setting.

JAVegeta420 · December 22, 2025, 1:25pm

Thanks for the feedback. I’m aware of the issue, but I haven’t really looked into a solution yet. Adding a warning probably is the easiest short term option.

Hey, I like the plugin, I’ve been using it a bunch recently. Is it possible to add ‘#’ as a delimiter?

could you do that for markers too ?

JAVegeta420 · February 13, 2026, 6:59pm

I do have something that works for marker tags, but I’ve never uploaded it because it sometimes doesn’t work as expected. I’ll need to take another look and see if I can fix that.

Since you would probably want to also copy/paste the main tag along with all of the secondary tags, and you also can’t reload the page when the update is applied because you want to keep tagging. So, it may be better suited to being its own separate plugin.

Just found your plugin. Would very much be interested in a solution for markers aswell. I wouldn’t mind if it only copied the secondary tags.

wanda23 · February 13, 2026, 9:03pm

yes for me too, just copy secondary tags would be great. But it’s your call of course.

JAVegeta420 · February 18, 2026, 4:10am

I’m working on a bit of a rewrite of the plugin to instead use the PluginApi.patch functionality which should allow me to make it work with markers as well. Might have time to finish it this weekend.

I do think there is value in being able to copy/paste both primary and secondary tags on markers in a single click, so I’ll see if I can do something about that after I get the basic marker tag copy/paste functional.

EDIT: A pull request with this change has now been created. Once it’s merged, you’ll be able to pull the update.

[tagCopyPaste] Refactor to use PluginApi.patch.

This is a significant refactor to use the PluginApi.patch functionality to direc…tly add the copy/paste functionality to the TagSelect React component. This has a few benefits: - The copy/paste functionality is universally applied to all instances of the TagSelect dropdown including in marker editing and modal dialog boxes. - Pasted tags are inserted into the TagSelect control itself rather than being directly saved through a GraphQL call. Users will now have to click the `Save` button for changes to be applied. This should be more in line with how a user expects copying/pasting to work. - Since it is now easier for a user to verify tags were pasted correctly before saving, the confirmation dialog is less necessary. The confirmation dialog (if enabled in plugin settings) is now only displayed if new tags are going to being created.

As I call out in the PR comment, this refactor means that tag copy/paste will be universally applied to all instances of the Tag Select dropdown including while editing Markers and in all of the modal dialog boxes like when you’re editing multiple Scenes, Performers, etc.

The other significant change is that when you paste, there is no longer an immediate API call to save the pasted tags. The tags now populate directly into the Tag Select control and you can save the same way you normally would.
