You may have a point there.
It doesn't seem to let you drag down multiple objects. You select multiples, but when you then try and drag them down to the Alias area, it only take one.
I tend to map out an area of the application very carefully before I start working on it. I create the name maps initially, modify the identification properties and names so they are easy to identify and robust and then move the key parts into the Alias area.
So I tend never to be in a position where I'm copying huge lumps of name map in one go.
One thing I've learned after years of using GUI maps is to be VERY through in creating it in the first place. Make names meaningful (I seldom use the automatic ones) and ID properties robust. And in TC's case, make the Aliases as simple to work with as possible.
Maybe something to raise as an enhancement with SmartBear?
But for the moment, it looks like you'd have to do them one at a time. :(
