    Are you trying to copy something like an:
    Option Name: Color
    Option Values: (all available option values)

    to a Category of Products?

    If so, you can backup your database ...

    Set up 1 Product with ONLY the new Option Name and all of the Option Values you wish to have copied ...

    Then, use the Copy to Category and select then use either the:
    Update with new settings/prices, then add new ones
    Ignore and add only new attributes

    Usually, if you do not have this Option Name and its Option Values on these Products, you would use:
    Ignore and add only new attributes

    Thanks.
    unfortunately, I have Text type option name, no Option Value involved.

    The text type option is not showed at all at the pages your refered.

    An Option Name that is a TEXT type does not have any Option Value other than the TEXT/FILE UPLOAD ...

    You do not create an Option Value for it ... as it works a little different than other Option Name option types so there isn't a place to setup Option Values ...

    When in the Attributes Controller and you click on the Option Name that you created as the Option Name for the TEXT field ... you will see the Option Value change to TEXT/FILE UPLOAD ...
