Blocks cant be copied in clipboard… You can still use CTRL+C/CTRL+V to copy/paste some text from, lets say, a text block`s text value.  
To copy blocks from a screen to another you still can use an workaround… just export that screen to “your screens” and import it as a new screen… that will copy all its own blocks too…

In this case, when that label get clicked, you just can save it to an app var, then when needed, call that var.

The solution you referred to does not work on Android. Android kernel has its own library clipboard.manager.

Not as you expect

> **[Copy and Paste  |  Android Developers](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/text/copy-paste)**

You should note that this is for Android only, you will need to execute this code only on Android devices and not on iOS ones.  
Good luck with it.

Blocks _can_ be copied from one screen to another. At least on a Mac using cmd+c and cmd+v. That works for a single block or a block that has other blocks inside it.

Blocks can be copied from one screen to another but only within the same project. You cannot copy the blocks across projects.

In fact, the only way to copy components between projects is by using the `Saved screen` option.

If you see my answer, it says **copy to clipboard** is not available. There are some attempts from other members but does not work on Android.

**How would I provide a project link for something that not solved yet?**

If you want a copy of the codes that partially works then just search for it on the forum.
