Copying and pasting descriptions efficiency

[kaakin]

• Bug
• Feature Request

When I go to copy and paste the descriptions from the map documents, I am not able to use ctrl+v or ctrl+shift+v to paste in the paragraph without it splitting the paragraph across multiple rows. My workaround for this has been pasting it into a google doc and then copying it from there, which seems to work, it just makes it take longer when you have to do it for every unit. Not sure if there is a way to fix this or not, but it may make processing go faster.

@CannonLock we should add an "assistant editor" that pops up to allow a single cell to be pasted into more effectively. We could use a similar approach to what I've taken in the "Description" column of https://dev2.macrostrat.org/maps/legend

@davenquinn Issue here is that newlines are pasted into the cells below. This enables you to copy from excel directly into this interface but when the text you are copying includes newlines it drops them across a couple cells.

So this is a preference question. Would you rather paste multiple cells from excel or handle pasting from text that includes newlines.
