[Qgis-developer] Field mapper when pasting features

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi Arnaud, 

This sounds like a very useful feature to have. A big +1! 

Not sure if it requires a QEP - but it never hurts to do one. Perhaps
other people have more idea, once they see a description or mockup. 

Thanks in advance!
