Copy and paste classic tween

Question

Hi all,I'm far from an expert so excuse me if this is a stupid situation. I've been bashing my head against the wall trying to figure this out, or even finding a plug-in to do it.I want to copy and past a classic tween - not the contents, just the effects. I've tried copy and paste frames but this also pastes the content of the frame. All I want to do is copy and paste the effect.. that's all. Example: I have text that has an opacity tween on it. I want to apply this opacity tween to more text without the text itself changing. This is just one example. I have specific timed tweens and I want to make sure they're correct across all of my work without having to rewrite everything. I just can't believe this isn't already a thing and if it is that it's not mentioned anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Thanks: https://we.tl/t-QU82q58dMaJust for reference. The current project has sensitive date (it's for work) so I couldn't share the exact one. So I've added an older draft that has fewer information in it but the general idea is the same.  I would like to copy the tweens from the layers in the stalph folder from frames 155 - 258 to the layers in the smiths folder. As i said, it's not the same project but the solution to the problem will help me. Thanks massively. Thank you, I could reproduce the problem and it seems that there's a bug with the Paste Motion option. It only works when you paste something from Frame 1, if you try to paste something from any other frame it won't paste the x/y scale of the first keyframe of the copied tween span, this alone makes it pretty much useless. I'll make a bug report to the dev team. Considering the way the file is set up I believe the best course of action here is to just do the tweens manually, you have a lot of auto-generated symbols and fixing that is going to be its own can of worms at this point so better leave it as is. Very important thing avoid in your next project however: https://youtu.be/NO2tcqbOx_U If you still want to use the copy-paste motion option, try adding an extra keyframe at the start of the tween or recreate the scale of the first keyframe as a workaround, everything else seems to carry over fine except that (easing, effects, blending modes etc). I attached a video demonstration below.
