Paste object

Paste object is a method available from the context 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.
