How to handle shared place history?

(Gramps 6.0.8 under Fedora 44)

I am presently working on a troubled period of History during which frontiers between fighting states varied a lot. I am collecting data on villages which were unwilling participants in these conflicts.

When I find persons related to my tree, I also enter the villages mentioned in the events into the Place collection. The annoyance is to re-write again and again the same history in the Enclosed By tab with the risk of typing errors. This is caused by the Date field which is unique to the occurrence while the “enclosing” place is shared.

Is there a way (or a trick) to duplicate instantly a full dependency history for neighbouring villages?

When you have the place hierarchy in one village’s Enclosed by tab set up with correct dates, you can drag-n-drop the enclosed by records to the clipboard. These will be the place references with the dates and can be copied into other village records.
