@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, it's script #115 (://github.com/windingwind/zotero-actions-tags/discussions/115). It's not exactly like Zutilo, because the one script handles both item links and collection links. Let us know if this script isn't giving you the expected output.
@DonnaCoxBaker It seems like this script is for copying item links, not item fields. So it has a totally different use. AFAIK it can't be used to copy/paste author names or other metadata. Or am i misunderstanding?
Apologies @aaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I misread what you were looking for. I am not familiar with the copy field Zutilo function. I never used it. Perhaps @hsiangyu_wong can respond.
Copy item fields Paste into empty item field Paste non-empty item field Paste item type
These would be useful because metadata often come in wrong from publishers.
I can make a correct book, create a book section from it, then "copy item fields" and "paste into empty item field" to fill in missing fields, which keeps the imported authors but adds the editors, for example.
If I want to replace a field, eg. if the series title got entered as the book title, I can make a dummy chapter with data only in the fields that I want to overwrite and "Paste non-empty item field", which replaces the respective fields with new data but doesn't erase any fields. This works for everything except author/editor misnomers, but that's ok to do by hand.
Relate items
would be really useful too.
I tried the Actions @ Tags plugin, adding the unread tag works but the Update item metadata or Auto-tag when keyword detected in title did not so far. will play with it more.
Copy and paste tags Copy and paste tags of selected item(s) #194 This is a two-part action - in the Actions & Tags settings you need to create 2 separate actions, one for Copy and one for Paste. The scripts for both are in the same discussion post.
The loss of Zutilo is a major blow and I am seriously considering reverting to Zotero 6. However, these are the functions that I consider most useful in Zutilo: - All tag functions - Relate items - All attachment functions, especially renaming and saving attachment as a linked file - All copying and pasting of metadata in fields
@sqrtx@ajdcampbell, thank you for the shout out to the paste metadata operations. I put those into Zutlio a few years ago - very happy to see that it's useful to others :)

thanks for asking and for making Actions & Tags!
For me..:
Copy tags
Remove tags
Paste tags
Relate items
Copy and paste tags
Copy and paste tags of selected item(s) #194

Remove tags
Remove All Tags of Selection #127
Relate items
Relate selected items #164
As DonnaCoxBaker has explained, Actions & Tags for Zotero is a bit trickier to set up than Zutilo, but once you get the hang of it it's pretty slick.
- All tag functions
- Relate items
- All attachment functions, especially renaming and saving attachment as a linked file
- All copying and pasting of metadata in fields

Thanks for this discussion and I'll check out Actions & Tags.
Copy Zotero URIs is very handy (I use this to send library collaborators straight to a reference so they can e.g. quickly access attached PDFs.)
Also:
Paste into empty item field
Paste non-empty item field
Paste all item fields
