Copying and Pasting Metadata
You can copy
metadata (page 2069) from one source and paste it into another.
You can copy and paste all the metadata from a data source, but not select
parts. Because metadata standards require the metadata for forced-update fields
(page 1503) to come directly from their data sources, any pasted metadata that
differs from the values in these fields will not be saved.
To copy and paste metadata
1 In the
Metadata Viewer (page 1751), right-click the data source from which
you want to copy metadata.
2 Click Copy Metadata to Clipboard.
3 Right-click the data source to which you want to paste the metadata.
4 Click Paste Metadata from Clipboard.
The pasted metadata is displayed in the
Metadata Tab (page 1753).
