**WHAT IS THE BUG**  
_Detail what the bug does or prevents from doing:_

When you start with a block style format and then paste your text, the original style will be removed no matter if you paste by ctrl+v oder ctrl+shift+v

**HOW TO REPRODUCE IT**  
_Outline the steps needed to reproduce the behavior in sequence:_

1. Create any block style e.g. Highlight or Callout
2. Go to [Blocks | Anytype Docs](https://doc.anytype.io/anytype-docs/getting-started/object-editor/blocks)
3. Copy the heading “Blocks”
4. Paste it to your Block

No matter what you do, it will overwrite the current format with the one you copied.  
If you press ctrl+shift+v the origin format will not be taken but the current block style will still be overwritten.

The only style where it works is the code snippet but here is a bug, when you select all text within the snippet by ctrl+a or 3x mouse click and then pasting you text without deleting the old text the block style will also get destroyed.  
All of this is very annoying when collecting data from different sources.

**THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOR**  
_Describe what you expected to happen:_

Normal text should be pasted into the current block style

**ADDITIONAL CONTEXT**  
It seems to depend on what kind of text is within you clipboard
