As in the idea forum topic.

“Often I’ll create a binding with a transform or chain of transforms, only to change it later to a different binding type (e.g. from indirect tag binding to a property binding). I’ll want to use the same transform, however there is currently no way to copy this to the new binding.”

While on the subject of pasting and bindings, I might plug my own ideas post…

In my opinion being able to paste a tag path as a direct binding would be super handy.

You already can do this by dragging and dropping the tag onto the component’s property you want to bind it to
