Everything you need to know about CopyWizard

Getting Started

CopyWizard copies filled-out form fields from one website and pastes them into another — including when the two sites name the same fields differently (name vs first_name vs fullName). Two concepts do all the work:

  • Profile — a saved set of captured field values plus each field's name, type, and label. "Practice intake — 12 fields."
  • Mapping — the source → destination pairing for one site (patient_name → fullName). Confirmed once, remembered for that site.

Installation: CopyWizard is launching on the Chrome Web Store. Until then, early testers install it unpacked — contact us for access, then load the folder via chrome://extensions → Developer mode → Load unpacked.

Tip: Pin CopyWizard to your toolbar (puzzle-piece icon → pin) — the popup is your home base for copying, pasting, and managing profiles.

Copying a Form

  1. On a page with a filled-out form, start a copy (toolbar → Copy fields from this page, right-click menu, or Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+C).
  2. A control bar appears at the top and every detected field gets a dashed outline.
  3. Click fields to select them — each gets a solid ring and a numbered badge. Click again to deselect. All selects everything; Esc cancels.
  4. Hover any field to see its metadata: insurance_id · text — click to select.
  5. Click Done, name the profile, and Save profile.

If some selected fields are empty, the save dialog says so — empty values are simply skipped when pasting later.

Pasting & the Mapping Dialog

The first time you paste on a destination site:

  1. Start a paste (Paste to this page uses your most recent profile; click any profile's row in the popup to paste that one specifically).
  2. Select the destination fields (or All), then Done.
  3. The mapping dialog lists each captured field → a destination dropdown → a match chip: Exact / Strong (confident, pre-selected), Review (plausible — double-check), No match (pre-set to skip).
  4. Adjust any row with its dropdown, then Fill N fields.
  5. Leave "Remember for this site" checked to save the mapping.

Verify before you submit. CopyWizard fills what you confirmed, but you're the last check before any form is submitted — especially where accuracy matters.

Instant Repeat Paste

Every later paste on a remembered site skips the dialog entirely — fields fill immediately with a toast like "✓ 4 filled, 1 skipped." That's the whole point: map once, reuse everywhere.

If the site's form changed and nothing matches anymore, CopyWizard tells you and reopens the interactive mapping so you can remap in seconds.

Managing Profiles

Open the popup. Each row shows the profile's name, field count, and last use.

  • Click a row to paste that profile to the current page
  • ✎ Rename — edits inline; Enter saves, Esc reverts
  • 🗑 Delete — click twice to confirm; deletion is immediate and permanent
  • + New profile starts a copy on the current page

Ways to Trigger

  • Toolbar popup — Copy / Paste buttons and the profile list
  • Right-click menu — CopyWizard: Copy fields from this page / Paste fields to this page
  • Keyboard — Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+C to copy, Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+V to paste

Chrome sometimes refuses to auto-assign Cmd+Shift+C (DevTools claims it). If a shortcut doesn't respond, set it manually at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

What Gets Detected

Detected: visible text, email, phone, number, date, URL, and search inputs, plus text areas and dropdowns (dropdowns fill when the destination has a matching option).

Never captured: password fields, hidden fields, disabled fields, and file uploads. Checkbox and radio support is planned.

Current Limitations

  • Frames — forms inside <iframe>s aren't reachable yet; CopyWizard warns you when that's the case
  • Shadow DOM — fields inside shadow roots aren't detected yet
  • One remembered site per profile — pasting to a new site re-runs the mapping dialog (re-saving updates the remembered site)
  • Non-Latin field names — auto-suggest can't score names like 名前; the mapping still works via the dropdowns
  • Transforms — reformatting values during paste (phone/date formats, name splitting) is on the roadmap

Troubleshooting

  • "No form fields detected" — the form may be inside a frame, not yet loaded (restart copy/paste after it renders), or built from non-standard widgets
  • Shortcuts do nothing — assign them at chrome://extensions/shortcuts
  • A field filled but the site ignored it — some sites validate on blur; click the field and tab away, or fill that one manually — and tell us the site
  • Wrong auto-match — fix the row's dropdown before filling; your correction is what gets remembered

Your Data

Profiles live in Chrome's local extension storage on your device — the extension makes zero network requests, ever. Delete individual profiles in the popup; uninstalling removes all stored data. Full details in the Privacy Policy.
