Question

sometimes i'm unable to copy and paste the text content in a field of a form.

i try to do this:

FIELD ~$KeepPrivate:=~$KeepPrivate;
@SetField("$KeepPrivate";@Unavailable);
SELECT @All

but the situation is the same and i'm not able to copy and paste.... Someone can help me ? thank's

Was it helpful?

Solution

Maybe property "Disable printing/forwarding/copying to clipboard" is set in form properties

enter image description here

It shouldn't be set to enable copying text to clipboard.

Another reason for not being able to copy field's text could be field property "Hide paragraph when document is Copied to the clipboard" although it has effect in read mode only.

enter image description here.

Other possible reasons are described here. In case your document has a field "$KeepPrivate" then execute this formula on document:

FIELD $KeepPrivate := @DeleteField

OTHER TIPS

To resolve this just go to Preferences / Basic Notes Client Configuration and on Additional options box enable (Enable alternate keyboard shortcuts (for example, CTRL+R=Reply)

Here I would like to know if you are using CTRL+C or CTRL+Insert. Please try using CTRL+Insert once and see if you can achieve copying it to your clipboard.
