Is there a way to allow users to copy portions of text from a text component? It seems like it doesn’t work in Rich Text (or other text components). I’m using share, but some of my text is very long and it would be nice for the user to copy a selection.

Thank!

As of now this is a no, you can only copy the full value to the clipboard.

As far as I know Action text allows the user to copy part of the text. Why is this option disabled by Glide?
