How to copy the URL to clipboard using client script?

meetanand7 · ‎11-18-2017

Hi,

I am trying to pass the URL to clipboard by using the attached code in client script, but it works in IE browser and not for Chrome. Could you please suggest what change I can do on this code for working in Chrome browser?

Hi there,

I have tested the following code in IE 11, Chrome 62, and Firefox Quantum 57.

function onSubmit() {

       var instanceName = "something";

       var incidentURL = 'https://' + instanceName + '.service-now.com/incident.do?sys_id=' + g_form.getUniqueValue();

       copyToClipboard(incidentURL);

}

ServiceNow provide this "copyToClipboard" function that can be used, which will cause the "Copied to clipboard" message within servicenow.

You could also use the code located on this PasteBin to accomplish the same thing silently. function onSubmit() { var instanceName = "something"; var incidentURL - Pastebin.com

Setup in Client Script as follows:

Most lists and breadcrumbs already have this functionality via the context menu.

What is your business requirement?

Hi,

Our business requirement is to pass the URL to clipboard when the field is updated, so we are trying to do that from the client script with the above mentioned code.

That is the technical requirement.

What business problem is this solving?

You can copy the URL to clipboard from the context menu on any form
