Create and Action to Copy data to the device Transfer Area (Ctrl + C or Copy)

[willpagane]

Hello everyone, I'm developing an app using Appsheets here in Brazil

My question is:
- Is there a way to create an action button that will copy the content of a cell to the Transfer Area of the device like an "Ctrl + C"?

Nope

Nope. 😞

As, @SkrOYC , stated...no.  But if you are talking about "Ctrl+C", it seems you are referring to desktop type copy/paste.  Why couldn't you use the normal highlight and copy/paste functionality?  It is available in certain views, not all.  See image below

Note: that this is also available on mobile devices on certain views.  But I did just notice a bug that when "Slide mode" is on in a Detail view, the act of highlighting text will cause navigation to go the next row and not allow completion of the copy function.

The reason is that here in Brazil we have a payment form called "PIX", which is a totally free 24h transaction without any limits covered by the Central Bank. This payment form consist on a large URL formula that the user copy and pastes on the Bank app, and he can also scan a QR code that represents this formula.

My intent is to display only the QR code and an action button below to copy this URL formula which will be hidden for better visual

Since its not possible, i'm gonna show the URL column again so the user can manually copy and paste as you guys showed me

Thank you for the answers

Be sure to not enable any inline action for URL column, such as the default action to open a URL, since then it can be difficult/impossible for the user to select the URL text for copying--when they try to select the text, the URL ends up launching.
