Hi all,

Seems glide Buttons and field Actions (to copy / share) don’t work on desktop versions of the app via Chrome. Has anyone found a workaround to this ?

I’m trying to make a paragraph of text copy-able on desktops.

Any advices are appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey @Dhiren_Bavisi, Welcome to the community!

I tested and am able to use button action (Copy to clipboard) fine, even with desktop version on Chrome.

Add a button \> Use action “Copy to Clipboard” \> For data, Select the field containing the “paragraph of text”

This should copy to clipboard and you should be able to use the text.

If this doesn’t works, kindly record a video of the screen showing the issue and share here.
