--- Comment #1 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
It is possible to fit the control to the cell with:
1. right-click > anchor > to cell (resize with cell)
2. right-click > fit to cell size

After that, copy-pasting the cell to another cell keeps the properties.
(Although note recent regression bug 158561.)
However, it doesn't allow pasting them to _several cells at once_. (Same issue
with e.g. images with the same settings.)

Do you think it would be enough to allow pasting objects to a cell range,
possibly as a Paste Special operation, resulting in a duplicated object for
each cell in the range? I think it would make sense to have that option (since
the object is anchored _to cell_), and it would be enough of a workaround
(rather than implementing a new function as specific as "insert control in all
selected cells with cell anchoring (resize with cell) and size fitted to cell"
aka "fill cells with this control").

Design/UX team, thoughts? This feels more like a bug to be solved ("can't
copy/fill objects anchored to cell to a cell range") rather than an enhancement
request.
Writer already allows that as a default with e.g. images in a table cell,
anchored as character or paragraph.

Can be tested with attachment 191262.
