MATLAB: How to vectorize copying one struct to another

cellstructvectorize

I have
p.Results.events(i)
ans =
struct with fields:
    message: {16×1 cell}
       time: [16×1 uint32]
and
obj.data{1}
ans =
1×70 struct array with fields:
    gx
    gy
    time
    events
where for example
obj.data{1}(1).gx(1:10)
ans =
532.4000  532.3000  532.2000  531.8000  531.1000  530.2000  528.9000  527.6000  527.3000  527.9000
I was able to do this using
                [obj.data{1}.gx] = p.Results.x{:}; 
                [obj.data{1}.gy] = p.Results.y{:};
                [obj.data{1}.time] = p.Results.time{:};
                for i = 1:70
                    obj.data{1}(i).events =  p.Results.events(i);
                end
It seems like in theory, copying the struct should be the easiest to vectorize but I've hit a wall. If it helps, I know exactly what the fields of events should be.
the source code is on github in the constructor

events = num2cell(p.Results.events);  %convert array to cell array so that it can then be converted to comma separated list
[obj.data{1}.events] = events{:};  %expand cell array into comma separated list and deal into outputs
However, your hierarchy of non-scalar structure within a cell array within a structure can easily be confusing to the reader of your code. You may want to simplify that a bit.
