Describe the Bug

When collaborating with others in a room, a critical issue arises with the paste flightplan feature. This problem occurs when a user attempts to paste a flightplan into a new flightstrip created by another user. The expected outcome is to see the route and have the flightplan properly filled in on the user's side. However, the current behavior falls short of this expectation.

To Reproduce the Bug

To replicate this issue, follow these steps:

Step 1: Connect to a Room

Start by connecting to a room where you can collaborate with others.
Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to create and edit flightstrips.

Step 2: Create a New Flightstrip

Get someone else in the room to create a new flightstrip. This can be an inbound, outbound, or VFR flightstrip.
Verify that the flightstrip is created successfully and is visible to all users in the room.

Step 3: Paste a Flightplan

Get the same person or someone else in the room to paste a flightplan into the "paste flightplan section" of the flightstrip.
Observe the behavior and note that the route is not visible, and the flightplan is not properly filled in on your side.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior when pasting a flightplan into a new flightstrip is to see the route and have the flightplan properly filled in on the user's side. This allows for seamless collaboration and accurate flight planning.

Flightstrip Configuration: The configuration of the flightstrip may be incorrect, preventing the flightplan from being properly filled in.
System Glitch: A system glitch or bug may be causing the issue, preventing the paste flightplan feature from working as expected.

Workarounds

Until the issue is resolved, some workarounds can be used to overcome the problem:

Manually Enter Flightplan: Manually enter the flightplan into the flightstrip instead of pasting it.
Use a Different Flightplan Format: Use a different flightplan format that is compatible with the system.
Recreate the Flightstrip: Recreate the flightstrip and try pasting the flightplan again.
