Is there a utility, python script or procedure (like some trick with copy/paste) that will transfer like-named morphs from the figure to the clothes conformed to the figure (e.g., "Realistic" on Aiko 3 is set to 0.733 (meters)Is there a utility, python script or procedure (like some trick with copy/paste) that will transfer like-named morphs from the figure to the clothes conformed to the figure (e.g., "Realistic" on Aiko 3 is set to 0.733 (meters), I'd like to set the Realistic morph on Hongyu's Soft Lingerie to 0.733, without going back and forth from the figure to the clothing for each of the 2 dozen morphs on Aiko that the Soft Lingerie supports).

This is a tricky subject ... and you'll find a lot of discussion here and at other Poser sites if you search for the term "crosstalk." 

There was a "bug" in Poser 4 that was later taken advantage of, which caused like-named morphs to follow each other. In other words, if Figure 1 had a chest morph named "BreastSize5" and Figure 2 had a chest morph named "BreastSize5", both would respond when one was dialed.

However, there are cases when you don't want this to happen .... for example, if you have two V3's in the scene and you don't want them to have the same body shape, you don't want them to "crosstalk" like this.  So the "bug" was addressed in Poser 5 and later.

Now, in order to force "crosstalk", you may have to intentionally put it in, and afterwardes load your figures in such a way that the clothing knows which figure it is supposed to conform to. So the typical approach is to load the figure first, and immediately afterward load the clothing and conform it. However, this doesn't work in Poser 5 and beyond unless the CR2 of the clothing is formatted correctly.

Hogsoft (maker of several Poser utilities) has a free "Crosstalker" utility on his web site that creates a Pose file that you can apply to clothing to make it work in each Poser version. At the moment, however, his site appears to be down.
