One of my client apps would like to copy and paste from within the app and cannot do so. They can copy and paste from another app into glideapp “notes” but cannot copy from one records notes to another record note in app within the same Glideapp (they are not allowed to use google sheet). When they attempt this, a blue vertical line appears in text: ![2019-10-05_1533](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/1X/ee15e7cdfee54e71d230f7adee476823e26455e4.png) ---

In the form button I created text, how do I copy the word ‘User Name’ ?? just copying not duplicating … a few months ago it could be done but now it can’t anymore. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/f/fefd61d7b0c10fa77e34720a90eb8eeeaf20bd05.png) ---

You should be able to click into each component and copy its title, if that’s what you mean. ---

For now it copy cannot appear. there are only duplicates. This can interfere with the smooth running of the application system that I made … ---

If you’re talking about each component in the form, the copy text option has always not been there if I recall right. It’s a form. You can only copy text in a normal details screen with a copy text action. I don’t know how it would interfere with the smooth running of your app? You want the user to copy the text to other fields in the same form, or is it another use case? ---

I started learning to design in Glide in January 2020, at that time I was able to copy text in the same form, but now I can’t, only the duplicate option appears. I want the user to copy the text to other fields in the same form ---

So you have some fields that are almost identical to each other, thus need the copy option? ---

yes. This will make it easier for consumers to fill out the order form, by copying the user name, code, and WhatsApp number then entering it into the entry text box. ---
