Hi,

I’m trying to build something where I want the click action to copy to clipboard.  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/c/9cab3b40c1befb87dc7cf5d406c359de2ca0c016.png)

When the item is an image, it copies the URL and not the image. Is that intentional?

Also, there’s no feedback like “Copied to clipboard” when the action runs

Yes, that would be correct.

You could create a multi-step custom action, and show a notification after the copy to clipboard action.

Thank you, Darren. The custom action is a good tip.

It’ll be nice to copy the image (or give an option to choose between URL and image).

My usecase is that I want to build a image that can be used in conversations
