[OSM-dev] Potlatch r - 'repeat last attributes' function

[Maarten Deen]

The 'r' key (repeat last attributes) in Potlatch overwrites all attributes of
a way or node with the ones from the previous way or node (excluding name/ref
if you use shift-R).
Is that intentional? If so, I would like to make a case for a "repeat last
addition of attributes" function.
E.g. if I add foo=bar and stuff=some to a way, doing a "repeat last addition
of attributes" on the next way only adds foo=bar and stuff=some to it and
leaves all other attributes alone.

The way I see it is that the current "repeat last attributes" is great for
when you are creating new ways and nodes, but in the Netherlands it is
absolutely useless when changing them, because all ways have a different
AND_nosr_r. Therefore a function that only adds what you added to the previous
way/node would be very useful.
