UI Action - Copy certain fields to the clipboard

[Brad Tilton]

I'm looking to create a UI Action that copies certain fields on the form to the person's clipboard. Does anyone have any experience creating something like this?

Brad Tilton (Cloud Sherpas) did you ever find an answer to this? I just had a user ask for the same thing...

Hi Ryan,

Different browsers handle this differently and it can be a security issue, so I've used some client code like this in the past.

var field = g_form.getValue('fieldname');

window.prompt("Copy to clipboard: Ctrl+C, Enter", field);

It pops up a window with the text for the user to copy. You could stick that code in a client side ui action.

Great, thanks Brad!

Be aware that from Madrid, in new client-scripts the window object is by default disabled.
