So I need to copy a section of the components in my app. I have always used ctrl+c and ctrl+v to copy and paste different components and it always works. Just today, I am working on a new project and need to copy a lot of components that would take too long to redo each component manually. I did the usual and copied it, but when I paste, it doesn't appear. I can confirm I did copy it because I can paste it in a text editor. This happens on the designer, where right click doesn't bring up a menu to copy anything, so I really need this to work. For some reason, when I press ctrl+v to paste it, it selects the "Display hidden components in Viewer" box. By "selects" I mean it gives an outline like if you just interacted with it or used tab to get to it, though it doesn't tick the box if it was off. I have found no solutions so far and I would need help with this. Thanks!
Which browser are you using, reports are that it works OK in Chrome.
I am using Google Chrome though, so I don't know.
Unfortunately I haven't figured anything out yet. I have already tried Microsoft Edge but no luck. I don't really want to download other browsers but if that's what it takes I can try.
Before pasting, click on an arrangement or screen in the designer component tree to target the paste.
Sadly it doesn't work. It is only outlining the "Display hidden components in Viewer" box again. Maybe that's the problem? Also, when tried opening Edge, I left the Chrome tab open too, so just now it let me choose which tab to continue the project, after it reloaded there was suddenly two of the component I tried to paste. It wasn't there before the page reloaded, so it somehow worked? Just today I also had problems pasting in the code blocks but a reload immediately fixed it. Though a normal reload doesn't fix this problem in the designer.
I found a solution! Microsoft Edge actually works, I might have just missed that it actually pasted and thought it also doesn't work. I'll use Edge for now, pasting in Chrome is just broken for some reason.
I also experience a copy-paste problem.
I can copy and paste a wished item in designer and the paste is ok.
BUT when i try to do another copy-paste the initial copied items will be inserted.
It only works again, when the site is reloaded.
It seems the copy memory is not beeing cleared.
