Copy to Clipboard

Since 2.22.4, it’s possible to add copy to clipboard capabilities to Comflow tables.

• Two new options for list segments: Enable Copy Row and Show Copy Rows Button.
• Option Enable Copy Row will enable a right click action on list rows. The new action will copy what is displayed on the row in the client to the user's clipboard.
• Option Show Copy Rows Button will enable and thereby display a copy rows action for the entire list. The new action will copy what is displayed on all row in the client to the user's clipboard.
• Copied text will be in a format that can be copied into Excel or other spreadsheet applications.
• Two external script libraries are used to enable copy to clipboard. SheetClip.js formats copied text in a standardized format with tabs and new line breaks. clipboard.js adds formatted text to the user's clipboard.
