I think it's necessary to add an option to the 'Paste Attributes' pop-up that gives us the freedom to choose whether we want to keep the existing effects on the destination clip when pasting effects and plugins. Instead of the current behavior where they're simply deleted and overwritten, this would be incredibly useful. It would essentially be a way to duplicate effects within the editing page and paste effects we've already configured without having to save them as a new preset. Perhaps a checkbox similar to 'Don't show again' but labeled something like 'Copy and Keep Existing Settings' would work. This would only appear when we're copying video and audio plugins, as well as Fusion effects

I can see several useful options here.

Overwrite. (Current behavior)
Add. (Keep what's there, add what's new.)
Add & Replace. (Add what's new, change what's there, leave the rest untouched.)

Those three options would be genuinely helpful!

I would like to select effects in the Inspector to copy and paste OFX & Fusion FX between clips. Another option is to have a list of applied FX shown in the Paste Attributes dialog so a selection can be made from multiple applied effects.

It would also be an excellent addition.
