Copying and pasting one inputs value into other input with the same name I am trying to write something that will copy the current &lt;input&gt;s value and enter it into any &lt;input&gt; that start with the same name.

&lt;input&gt; names will follow this pattern: price-0, price-1, price-2, upc-0, upc-1, upc-2.

So if a user enters a value in &lt;input name="price-0"&gt; and hits copy the value should be transferred over to all input whos name start with price

This is the code I've written:

$(document).on('click', '.--copy', function () {
    var input_name = $(this).closest('div').find('input').attr('name').split('-')[0];
    $('input[name^=' + input_name + ']').val($(this).closest('div').find('input').val());
});

I feel like there are too many selectors being called upon and the code is somewhat difficult to read.
Why not at least save the intermediate to avoid rerunning that:

$(document).on('click', '.--copy', function () {
    var obj = $(this).closest('div').find('input');
    var input_name = obj.attr('name').split('-')[0];
    $('input[name^=' + input_name + ']').val(obj.val());
});
