[QGIS-Developer] Paste geometry functionality

[Régis Haubourg]

Hi Tomas,

copy-paste geometric features is implemented for years now, and copying 
to a spreadsheet or text file also.

There is a setting if you don't want the geometry to be pasted as a WKT 
column in text/ spreadsheet format.

The behavior of attribute forms can also be tuned by options regarding 
the attribute of newly created features

Can you be more precise on your use case scenario ?

Regards

Régis
