Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way but how do you copy and paste text in Graphic templates? Is this a bug or a feature? I've had to manually enter information.

Error or problem

You can of course copy/duplicate a graphics "clip" on the sequence and paste that elsewhere in the sequence. As noted by Phillip, if you've made the graphics through the EGP but not saved as a mogrt, you can simply copy any line or group from the EGP's edit panel and paste onto another graphics clip Edit panel.

So ... which you're working with, and what you're doing to it ... matter for helping you.

I'm not able to see the pic you tried to link.

It may depend on how the template is set up that you're trying to use. If it's simply presets created with Essential Graphics, then you can copy and paste the text layer (inside the Essential Graphics panel). If it's a .mogrt file, then you can only edit the parameters that have been assigned to the template. You can copy and paste the whole clip, but not individual parts of that clip.

I've tried pasting it in the timeline which doesn't work.

Why are you pasting there?

You paste new text most commonly in a text box in the Program monitor, as the app then knows where you want it.

Thank you Mr. Haugen for replying so quickly - on a Sunday, no less! The two screen grabs that were attached to my post show that the option to paste (on a dropdown menu) is grayed out. I have tried many times to select the Type Tool in the tool bar to create a text window from scratch in the Program Monitor and paste the Mac OS text in the clipboard into that, but it does not work. To be more thorough, I always paste from Mac using the TextEdit app, because that app contains no formatting, so it pastes "clean" into other Mac apps. Premiere has no trouble copying/pasting text from TextEdit if I'm in the Project Panel (renaming bins, edits, clips, etc). or other panels so the Mac-side of cut/paste is working. It just ain't working in the Text Tool. I'm totally stumped.
