Better name for paste row functionality

The multi-edit screen has a functionality for "copy row" and "paste row". It turns out that "paste row" does not paste the values of the row visible in the UI - which might have many tabs and only a small subset of attributes might be visible in the tab - but pastes the values of ALL attributes except the primary key from the item where the "copy row" functionality was called. This is not intuitive for the user and can lead to unwanted changes since the user cannot even see all the attributes that are affected. I this functionality change is not possible, please change at least the name of this functionality to a wording clearer than "paste row". It could be named e.g. "Paste all attributes" or "Paste all values from copied item". In a similar fashion the "copy row" should better be named "Copy all attributes" or "Copy all values" Use Case: - user opens multi-edit - user chooses "Copy all attributes" - user chooses "Paste all attributes" Business justification: Our client had several cases where a user had used this functionality and changed attributes which should not have been changed. The change was not detected since the affected attributes were not visible in the multi-edit tabbed view.
