Paste, Delete and Add sub-elements

A sub-element is an element placed inside/under another element or part. A form has pages as sub-elements, and these have the various elements as sub-elements. For instance, the sub-elements of a grid are its rows. The sub-elements of a row are its cells. When pasting or deleting sub-elements, you must select the “parent” element first.
