Its a bit silly.  But you have to be very specific about the mouse focus.  IE, go tho the DB, select all or which ever records you want to copy by selecting them by the very first column to the left of the tag name.  Go to Edit>Copy.

Then open the HMI Tag table of choice, and right click on the same very first column, or shift / cntrl click many.  I this this first column is the "select all in row" button similar to excel. 

Its real fussy about that.

I often open the Tag Tables and DB's I use on my second monitor. As I'm building the Objects on the screens I drag from the PLC tags and PLC DB's to fill the properties, animations, and events. HMI tags are created automatically that way.

One of the best things about TIA is the drag and drop implementation.
