Copy Field Value to Clipboard

Summary

Copy the specified field value to the clipboard.

How to use

When this action is taken, the current value in the specified field is copied to the user’s device’s clipboard. The copied value can be pasted using the “paste” action.

Parameters

Set Field.

Field

Choose the field where the value should be copied.

This parameter accepts the following field types:

  • Text
  • Number
  • Calculated
  • Text area
  • Rich text
  • Link
  • Date
  • Time
  • Date and time

This parameter does not accept fields that are inside tables.

Please exercise caution when working with specific field types.

For Number and Calculated Fields:

Only the value will be transferred as is. Unit symbols and delimiters are not included, and the format is not reflected.

For Rich Text Field:

The internal value of the rich text field is stored as an HTML string. However, when you copy the content, it will not be in HTML format; instead, it will appear as if you selected and copied the rich text directly from the browser. It’s important to note that the background color will be set to white, regardless of the current color used in the browser.

When you paste content into an area that does not support rich text, only the plain text will be pasted. However, if you paste it into an area that supports rich text, such as the comment section of a Kintone app, the original formatting will be retained.

Date and time

The date and time value is expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) using the international standard format ISO 8601.

For instance, if the local date and time is “2020-12-01 08:00:00” in Japan, the corresponding UTC representation will be “2020-11-30T23:00:00Z,” accounting for Japan’s time difference of 9 hours from UTC.

Compatibility with krewSheet

This action does not support krewSheet.
