Hi Dave,

Implementation:

1) Took a flag 'is_row_copied' for each copied row:

 - to distinguish it from add/update row.

 - to write code specific to copied row only as it requires different logic than add row.

2) After pasting an existing row:

 - If a user clear the cell value, it must set cell to [default] value if default value is explicitly given for column while creating table otherwise [null].

 - Again, if a user entered a value in same cell, then removes that value, set it to [null] (the same behaviour is for add row).

3) Took a 2-dimensional array "grid.copied_rows" to keep track the changes of each row's cell so that changes made to each cell are independent and removed once data is saved.

4) On pasting a row, the cell must be highlighted with light green colour, so triggers an addNewRow event. Now copied row will add to grid instead of re-rendering all rows again.

5) Moved the common logic into functions.

This patch pass the feature test cases and jasmine test case.

Also I will add the test cases for copy row and send an updated patch.

Please find attached patch and review.

Looks good. I saw the following issues:

- The "new" row is not available once I've created the first new row, or pasted some.

- Rows are pasted in reverse order.

- If I copy/paste a new row that has yet to be saved, none of the values are actually copied.

- Attempting to save a row that contains all null/default values results in an invalid query:

INSERT INTO public.defaults (

) VALUES (

);

I think the only answer here is to explicitly insert NULL into any columns *without* a default value.

Thanks.
