Dear Community

Trying to Copy a Lookup Value to clipboard,

 ![a](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/1/918e7d33e8030bd62f500b789804bfa86acc8244.png)

but not able to search for this field. But when i use Single Value, it works

 ![Lookup Value](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/2/3230923e6c2bcc58a4377574ae5c795636925ecd.png)\

However, it is weird that some records “Copy to clipboard button” does not appear when there is values in the same Single Value column, while some appear.

This is the template column:

Thanks in advance!

The look up value is copyable when it comes from a single relation column.

In your case, it seems like either this look up column has multiple values or its coming in from a relationship with multiple values, that’s why it’s not copyable.
