+1 on the need for this.

As WD statements become ever more extended, accumulating qualifiers, references, rankings etc, it becomes more and more of a pain to execute if/when a statement has to be moved from one item to a different item. At the moment it requires wholescale re-creation by hand of the original statement.

It would be very very valuable simply to be able to cut-and-paste or copy-and-paste statements from one item to another.

It's rare that Wikidata is significantly more tiresome to edit that Wikitext, but this is a clear case.

I challenge the triage of this task as "low priority" -- I don't believe that assessment matches the views and wishes of editors who actually work on data. Compare for example the sarcasm implicit in his comment when User:Jura related this assessment recently at Wikidata project chat.
