Say I want to paste some text from a web page into a grid, creating a new item for each line in the pasted text.  I press Ctrl+C to copy the text to clipboard.
 
When I press Ctrl+V to paste the text, the Paste Options dialog appears, and I select the second option - "Paste all lines into selected cells, creating items if necessary (9 items will be created)."
 
Nine items will be created, even though five of these will contain any text in the Item field.  Because of the formatting of the web page from which the text was copied, the Clipboard contains empty lines.  IQ creates several items with no text in the Item field.  I have to delete these items manually.  
 
Would it be possible to to add a checkbox to the Paste Options dialog, "Don't create items for lines with no text"?

Good suggestion Jim. In v109Pre5:
  • New: Grid: When pasting multiple items, option to not create items for empty lines
