[OSM-dev] Moving tags in JOSM

[Andrew Hain]

Alternatively you can select both objects at the same time and change each differing tag to the one you want.

(2) Is there a way of copying/moving tags from a node or way to a relation?
Ideally something like "move tags to relation" -> "select tags to move" ->
"select relation to move to (if more than one)" -> move. I am sometimes
moving wikidata/wikipedia tags from nodes/ways to relations, and there
doesn't seem to be a simpler way than manually copying them one by one.


you can copy tags from a way to a relation by first selecting the way and copy it, then selecting the relation (e.g. by right clicking on the relation name in the tags window, or by selecting it from the relations window) and pasting tags (IIRR it's shift+ctrl+v), but it will overwrite values of existing keys. You can also paste tags in the relation editor (without needing to select the relation itself), first row of icons, "paste tags". Both methods will overwrite existing tags AFAIR.

Cheers,
Martin
