How to paste into multiple rows/column at the same time?

Question

How can I paste an emoticon / symbol  into multiple columns/rows within a table at the same time?

Hi @Dailin Garcia Young

I don't think there is a good solution for you. I've searched a lot in the internet, but at the end of the day, I always had to insert the symbol by hand.

I tried something else with javascript and it worked. Perhaps this is a option for you.

This you have to execute in the edit mode. The best way is to you chrome Snippets. The script adds the HTML in the column number 2 of the first table on the page. Feel free to adjust

var elements = document.getElementsByClassName("confluenceTable")[0].rows
column = 2;
for (var i = 1; i < elements.length; i++) {
   elements[i].getElementsByClassName("confluenceTd")[column].innerHTML = 'EMOJI / SYMBOL IN HTML HERE';
}
