This block will not allow users to paste text anywhere outside the app. @jared’s CopyToClipboard website would work if there was a block after the . Jared, would it be possible for you to update that website? ---

Hey @codeswept, I have updated the code. It should work for you. Thanks for pointing out the missing tag @jaythemanchs, I wrote that script on my phone, on GitHub, on the go. Much appreciated proofreading! ---

Hey @jared I tried this today, and it wasn’t copying. I even viewed page source, copied the code, and created a Github repository (hope you’re fine with that: if you want me to take it down, I can) but it still didn’t work. What should I do? ---

The code will work on a computer but not on a mobile phone. Try it using the web Live Test. ---

Hey, @mikailsarkar02g0m if you want to paste in Facebook or any other. Then you can use share component also. ---

This doesn’t work @eko.devs.apploroceo. You can’t paste this outside your app, and you can’t use CTRL-V to paste it even inside the app. It doesn’t work. ---

Hey… i didn’t understand your message Can you send a block of code regarding what i’m supposed to do? I’m making a speedrun retime tool and it’s necessary to have the final time copy-able. Thanks!
