[[JOSMImage(pastetags,48,link=,middle,margin-right=20)]] ''Keyboard shortcut'': **`Ctrl+Shift+V`**

**Paste the [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#Tags tags (properties)] of the contents of the clipboard to the current selection.**

* If the clipboard contains some JOSM objects copied by [wikitr:/Help/Action/Copy Copy] (**`Ctrl+C`**), then the tags of these copied objects will be added to selected objects.
* If the buffer contains text, it will be parsed to find key-value pairs. (Since r5738)

In both cases if value conflicts are found a [wikitr:/Help/Action/CombineWay#TagsMembershipsConflictDialog Tags/Memberships conflict dialog] will open to choose the correct values.

=== Text formats ===
Supported text formats are:
 TAB-format:: key1`<tab>`value1`<line break>`key2`<tab>`value2`<line break>`
 A=B-format, copied by properties table:: key1=value key2="long value" tag3="hotel \"Quote\""
 JSON-like:: { "a":"1", "b":"2" }
 Free format:: a 1 b=2 c="hello world"

See [attachment:ticket:8384:tags.txt tags.txt] for some more complex examples.
