To add the same text content to multiple cells in a column: 1. First, add a new column by either: • Scrolling to the right of your table and clicking "Add column" • Or hovering between two columns and clicking "Add column" • Or right-clicking an existing column and selecting "Insert Left" or "Insert Right" 2. Select "Text" as the data type for your new column, as this accepts text inputs and is suitable for descriptions or any text content. 3. Once the column is created, you can paste your text into one cell, and then copy and paste that cell's content to other cells in the column.For better organization, you can also edit the column name and settings by clicking on the column header and selecting "Edit column".

Based on the available information, there isn't a specific quick key or shortcut to automatically fill an entire column with the same text. You'll need to manually copy and paste the text into each cell you want to fill.For column management, you can: 1. Add a new column by hovering between columns and clicking "Add Column" or right-clicking to insert left/right 2. Set it as a "Text" data type which accepts text inputs 3. Fill the cells with your desired contentIf you need to fill many cells with the same content, you may want to request this feature from our support team.
