P: Paste Shape Attributes doesn't work or doesn't appear in the menu

When copy/pasting attributes from one shape layer to another, "paste attributes" isn't working. Attributes that were copied from one shape will not paste into another shape. Sometimes the option to paste doesn't even show up in the right click menu, it only allows the option to copy. This is a procedure I've done countless times, and this is the first I've encountered this issue.

26.6.0 on imac, sequoia 15.4.1

Hi @troyjack and @Anavel_000! Sorry for the delayed response. I have been able to reproduce this issue again even after updating to the version released today (26.6.1). I have forwarded this to the team at large for further investigating.

If you could share your System Info with us it could be helpful as well. You can find it in Photoshop under Help > System Info. Just copy the info to a text file and attach it to your response, or share it with us through Google Drive, WeTransfer, or another file-sharing platform.
Thanks a lot! 😊

I've confirmed that it works as intended on 25.12.3, but not in 26.6.0

Hi @troyjack! I'm sorry to hear about the issue with pasting attributes.

I tested this out, and it worked normally for me. As a first step, let's try resetting the Photoshop preferences. This will restore the app to its default state and usually helps with unexpected issues. Just make sure to back up your workspace, brushes, and other settings, as resetting preferences will reset them. Here's how to do that: Reset Photoshop Preferences.

If that doesn't help, could you send a screen recording showing your workflow and recreating the issue? That would help us try to reproduce it.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi Aleke,

I've reset prefs (which I've had to do on a regular basis due to the amount of bugs in v26) and the behavior still exists.

A screen video of the behavior is attached.

Hi @troyjack!

Thanks for sharing the video. I tried testing on my end and somehow got the error of the Paste Shape Attributes button being missing and not working first try. However, after restarting the app, I haven't been able to reproduce it again since.

Does this happen with every shape for you? Does it only occur when the fill is a gradient or when the shape's corners are rounded? If we can find a reliable way to reproduce this issue, I can forward it to the software team for investigation.

Thanks a bunch!
