Why I didn't copy and paste layers or folders in Photoshop?

I honestly have a hard time understanding why I can't layers Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V, or folders (with styles and properties) in Photoshop, although I can with other elements in Photoshop and with almost all elements of all software published by Adobe (including the insurmountable more complex layers of an After Effects composition). I have long used different methods to copy layers and folders autour (double drag, etc.), but they can all be very heavy at times depending on the project and this is the specific workflow. For example, I just finished editing on the thirty selected RAW photos of an event in PS and I need either already have my watermark on them that I have edited, each of them or that I do now as a big batch of ol '-note: because I put my mark in a location unique photo based on its content This is the direction and My Eye stocks or batch commands do not work for this). My only option really is to visit the source document containing my watermark layer more than thirty times to retrieve a single item of data which could and should only be required in my Clipboard and available with a simple keyboard shortcut (note also that my brand fusion styles will be also adjusted according to the photo, excludes a selection of brand that can be copy and paste but only as a raster with an alpha channel layer).

Y at - it an explanation of why it's missing? Maybe there's a logical reason, I do not understand...?

See you soon!

Also use ctrl/cmd-J to duplicate (copy) a layer in the same document, which will retain all of its attributes. And as Trevor mentioned, you can just drag the layer in the layer panel to another document tab to replicate to another document - no menus, no workspace rearrangement.
