Paste object
Paste object is a method available from the pop-up menus of object-valued
properties in the Property Value column of property grids.
The paste object method will only paste objects that are of the required
class. For example, if you attempt to paste an object belonging to the
Version Series class into a Property Value for Security Parent, you will
be notified that such a paste is not allowed because a Version Series
object does not belong to the required class which in this case is Referential
Containment Relationship.

class matches the required class of the target property.
