Chrome - clipboard

RyanCameron — Tue, 22 Aug 2023 14:29:52 GMT

General question. I tried copy/paste by selecting an object in Forma, then right clicking but paste was not an option. When I used CTRL+C on my keyboard, CTRL+V, Chrome gave me an error that clipboard has been disabled in the settings. However, I can not find the toggle to allow clipboard pasting in chrome. My question, is there a work around for this since copying/pasting is a necessary workflow a lot of the time? and, has anyone else come across this yet? I did a search in the forum for clipboard but had no results.

Hi Ryan,

In Chrome, you can change the clipboard permissions by going directly to chrome://settings/content/clipboard (you can copy this into your address bar), or by going to Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Site Settings -> Permissions (press "additional permissions") -> Clipboard.

There, you'll be able to control which sites (if any) are allowed to read the contents of your clipboard.

Hope that helps. We'll try to see if we can make the user experience in the product easier as well.

Hi Ryan. Did Tom's solution work?

Its entirely possible I'm screen-blind to clipboard, but I don't see it here:

Yikes. I had to manually type: chrome://settings/content/clipboard

This was a wild guess on my part in hopes that it would work. I even did a search in Chrome settings for clipboard to no avail.

I ended up adding forma app to the allowed list.
