# Feed Actions: Copy value

LitCommerce Feed Management offers multiple rules when setting up your feed, enabling you to locate, modify, and optimize your product data for the target platform.

This article introduces you to the “Copy value” action.

## <mark style="color:$primary;">**Set up and apply**</mark>

For more details on how to set up and apply the rule, refer [HERE](https://litcommerce.gitbook.io/litcommerce-helpdesk/feed-management/feed-basics-and-setup/feed-setup/feed-create-and-set-up-your-feed/feed-rules).

## <mark style="color:$primary;">**How it works**</mark>

The “Copy value” action appears under the Then and And-statements. It allows you to duplicate data from one product attribute (including Main Store fields, metafields, and custom fields) to another, ensuring consistency and saving time when setting up product feeds.

This rule is ideal for filling missing fields, matching platform-specific requirements, or reusing existing data without manual editing.

**Example:** You would like to use the product tags as ad labels on Google Shopping, but the “Sunflower Cupcakes” do not have any tags. The following action lets you use data from the Main Store “dietary\_preferences” metafield as these items’ tags.

Take “Tags” and “copy value” from “dietary\_preferences”.

The “Sunflower Cupcakes” products will then have the “dietary\_preferences” data assigned as tags.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.litcommerce.com/feed-management/feed-basics-and-setup/feed-setup/feed-create-and-set-up-your-feed/feed-rules/feed-actions/feed-actions-copy-value.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
