In iD, how to draw the same type of road off existing road?

2

In iD editor, a very common situation. A large parking lot with lot of service roads/parking_aisles. I draw one line, select service road and then parking_aisle. From this I want to draw another parking_aisle. I click on a node in the existing parking_aisle but the new line is drawn as a regular line so I have to again pick service road and then parking_aisle.

Is there a way when drawing off the existing type of road that the new road will automatically be the same type of road? Sometimes it does work like this but I cannot figure out how to do it in every time. Thank you.

There is no way to do this in iD yet - we are tracking this feature on https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/590
