In Potlatch 2 I can copy the tags from the previously touched node by clicking R. How can I do this with iD? asked 05 Sep '16, 18:19  Peter Maiwald edited 17 Mar '19, 14:58  Richlv |

Currently iD doesn't allow to copy the tags from one object to another. There is a corresponding issue on GitHub open for over three years now. answered 05 Sep '16, 21:21  scai ♦ |
I know it doesn't answer to your question, but just for info in JOSM you can use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Shift+V answered 09 Jan '17, 08:32  NicolasDumoulin 2 ... or for users of the utilsplugin2 Shift+R if you selected the source object before your current selection (like in Potlatch 2) (09 Jan '17, 20:32) aseerel4c26 ♦ |
Fixed in https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/6302 Switch to raw text view and then you can copy and paste tags into another element answered 20 Aug '23, 14:36  brightj |
In case you want to create a new object anyway, see the other question can-i-duplicate-a-point-with-all-his-tags-and-infosfor how to duplicate objects.
No I don't want a new object because it will delete the history of the existing node. For example I want to complete existing housenumbers with street, postcode, city, suburb. It is easier to copy all information and correct only the housenumber than add all the other tags.
