Issue/Introduction

MUX Staff grid bulk Copy/Paste for Roles/Resources is inefficient & inconsistent. It fails multi-row application, leading to manual updates & data issues, unlike other grids.
 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open any project in MUX.
2. Navigate to the Staff grid.
3. Add three or more roles (e.g., Architect, DBA, Developer).
4. Copy a role value (e.g., 'Architect') from the 'Resource' column using CTRL+C or the fill handle (dragging the bottom-right corner).
5. Attempt to paste (CTRL+V) or drag this copied value into the next two rows of the 'Resource' column to apply it to multiple roles.
6. Refresh the page, or navigate to an alternate tab and return to the Staff grid.

Expected Results:
The copy/paste or drag action should successfully apply the copied role to all targeted rows, enabling bulk replacement.

Actual Results:
The copy/paste or drag action only replaces the role in a single row at a time, failing to achieve bulk replacement across the desired rows.

Environment

16.3.3, 16.4.0 and 16.4.1

Cause

DE178718

Resolution

Fixed in 16.4.2 : The ability to 'paste' a value into the 'Resource' field directly into the grid is blocked and matches the blocked 'Resource' field in the bulk Edit modal.

Clarity Product Management understands that customers want to have the ability to do a bulk 'replacement' action. Please go through the Clarity Innovation process to raise an idea to help us prioritize the capability for a user to perform a bulk replacement action.
