Hello everyone,
Please I wanted to ask if there is a Way I can set/program a button to copy text from a field to clipboard.
Thank you

Not as a prescribed action, but one thing you could do is create a text field on the user (call it, say, ‘user clipboard’) and when they click the button, update that field to be whatever the text is you want to copy?

But this still does not copy the desired text to the system clipboard, this just stores it in the db.

I don’t think you can do it. Search for an api for that

You can check out this link
> **[Clipboard - Web APIs | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard)**
>
> The Clipboard interface implements the Clipboard API, providing—if the user grants permission—both read and write access to the contents of the system clipboard. The Clipboard API can be used to implement cut, copy, and paste features within a web...
Maybe you can connect this api using custom api

There is a custom component in development that should be able to solve this problem. In the meantime you can try the suggestion from @prakharm8

@firozkhan.06
NoCode Monkey has a Copy to Clipboard component that might help.

Hi @Michael , two questions…
1. Does this work in PWA or only in native apps?
2. If I buy it once it works for all my applications?
Thank you!

Hey @almondete ,
This will work on everything. PWA, web, native.
We actually have 2 versions on our site.
And yes, you can use them on all of your apps under the same team name.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
