Sounds a lot more complicated than copy paste. And I have a lot if classes (and other such temp groups) throughout the year. Hence my question: why not let me just paste the list like I can in Mulberry? In user interface design we try to change the system, not the user. Copy/paste is so ubiquitous that it's what we expect will work. So it should.
