Fill Down Workaround - Users managing high-volume data entry (1000+ cells) can use copy-paste across multiple rows:
  1. Enter value in first cell: Ctrl+C (copy)
  2. Select range below: Shift+Click or Shift+Arrow
  3. Paste: Ctrl+V
This effectively fills down across multiple cells. A native Fill Down shortcut (Ctrl+D) is not currently available but is planned for future releases.
