I would also find this very useful. Thanks for all your work! =)

need this too.

This would be very useful to send data to Shortcuts workflows. 1+ !!!

Any update on this?

Just to clarify, there is no way to program a button to copy the content from a field to the clipboard?

Hello, I found this solution online and adapted it to work in Ninox. The code goes in Formula field and it copies the current record information to the clipboard...

html("<button onclick='copyToClipboard(""" + concat(this) + """)'>Copy to clipboard</button>
<script>
function copyToClipboard(str) {
var el = document.createElement('textarea');
el.value = str;
el.setAttribute('readonly', '');
el.style.position = 'absolute';
el.style.left = '-9999px';
document.body.appendChild(el);
el.select();
document.execCommand('copy');
document.body.removeChild(el);
}
</script>")

Thanks Sean, that works! 

Is there any way to make it focus on the contents of just one field in the record?

Not that I'm aware of. It is a long awaited feature request.

I see that. :) Looking forward to the development. 

sure that works - you just need to replace this piece here in the first line:

 concat(this) 

I have replaced this with one column and it works.

thanks Sean for sharing - this was really helpful!

Bingo! That is the perfect solution.

Just in case anyone is unclear about how to make this work...

Use the "Fx Formula" option to add a formula field to your record. (I.e. not a button field - tried that, didn't work)

Add the following code where the Formula code goes:

html("<button onclick='copyToClipboard(""" + concat('Project Name') + """)'>Copy to clipboard</button>
<script>
function copyToClipboard(str) {
var el = document.createElement('textarea');
el.value = str;
el.setAttribute('readonly', '');
el.style.position = 'absolute';
el.style.left = '-9999px';
document.body.appendChild(el);
el.select();
document.execCommand('copy');
document.body.removeChild(el);
}
</script>")

Where I have:

'Project Name'

in concat('Project Name')

is where you will want to put the name of the field you want to copy. If you want to copy the whole record, simply add the word

this

as in contcat(this)

...and you are done, and Ninox has one less development item on their list.

Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I thought you wanted set the focus of a Ninox field. D'oh!

For the record, Sean and Bastian did the heavy lifting. I'm just really good at copy paste. :)

a specific character contained in the field to copy prevents this script from working: '

sample text:

youtube-dl -f 251 --no-cache-dir -o '/Library/WebServer/Documents/Médiathèque/ Commodores/The Commodores Anthology/Easy (Extended Version)/Easy (Extended Version) - Album Studio - Opus 160k.%(ext)s' https://youtu.be/-_z35XZWiP4

The only sort-of-solution I found was this...

html("<button onclick='copyToClipboard(""" + replace(FieldToCopy, "'", "") + """)'>Copy to clipboard</button>
<script>
function copyToClipboard(str) {
var el = document.createElement('textarea');
el.value = str;
el.setAttribute('readonly', '');
el.style.position = 'absolute';
el.style.left = '-9999px';
document.body.appendChild(el);
el.select();
document.execCommand('copy');
document.body.removeChild(el);
}
</script>")

If you insert the string directly it works, but it's not what you're looking for. I'm not sure how to get around it.

html("<button onclick='copyToClipboard(""youtube-dl -f 251 --no-cache-dir -o '/Library/WebServer/Documents/Médiathèque/ Commodores/The Commodores Anthology/Easy (Extended Version)/Easy (Extended Version) - Album Studio - Opus 160k.%(ext)s' https://youtu.be/-_z35XZWiP4"")'>Copy to clipboard</button>
<script>
function copyToClipboard(str) {
var el = document.createElement('textarea');
el.value = str;
el.setAttribute('readonly', '');
el.style.position = 'absolute';
el.style.left = '-9999px';
document.body.appendChild(el);
el.select();
document.execCommand('copy');
document.body.removeChild(el);
}
</script>")
