Allow copy to clipboard within the iparams iframe

[arunrajkumar235 (Arun Rajkumar)]

Hi,

I’m building an app that requires the user to copy the externalEventUrl to clipboard from the iparams page.

Code

navigator.clipboard.writeText(this.externalEventUrl);

Error

Reason

On debugging, I found that the iframe that loads the iparams does not explicitly allow clipboard-read and clipboard-write.

Closing Notes

I understand that it is a security feature. But, I don’t find the harm in allowing developers access to this. It only adds to your customer’s delight by not having to manually copy a text from a textbox.

Hi @arunrajkumar235,

Greetings!

We had that issue too, but for some security reasons, they have restricted this functionality.

Please refer to the post below, copy-to-clipboard-functionality

Hope this helps!

Thank you.
