We are running SF 2026.1.11  Recently I started using Copy to clipboard (form) on certain domain entities. I only now encounter the issue that when I want to edit in a grid, the column is not available for new or existing rows. It works fine on tasks and forms, but can't change data in a grid edit?

Dear Rob,

Could you share some more details about what you are experiencing? Are the columns for which you have activated copy to clipboard no longer visible in the grid or are they no longer editable?


Kind regards,

Davy

In grid, when trying to insert or update a row, the field basically does not allow me to type. On Form no issue. I found out because in some situations we only have a grid.

Dear ​@Rob Jordan ,

Could you try out the following suggestions and let me know if any of them work out?

  • Are none of the fields editable in the grid? If so, could you make sure that the grid is editable.
  • Are only some of the fields editable in the grid? If so, could you make sure that the non-editable fields are not set to read-only for the grid specifically. (Subjects > Components > Grids > Grid type)
  • Are the fields editable in the grid if you turn off “Copy to clipboard”? 

Best,
Bo

All the other fields are editable. When I remove the copy to clipboard function from the domain field, also that field works normal again.

Dear ​@Rob Jordan ,

Okay that sounds like odd behavior. Could you maybe create a ticket in TCP about this, including some more information about your model and the subject/columns this is happening for?


Best,
Bo

Since you have all the information, please simulate it and process it internally.

Dear ​@Rob Jordan ,

We would like to fix this issue, but for this we would need some extra information about how to reproduce it. Currently we have no reproduction yet, as I have not been able to simulate the same behavior.

The easiest way to provide us with this information would be to make a TCP ticket, so that our support division can make a consistent reproduction that a possible fix can be tested against. The extra information that at least would be necessary is:

  • A picture of the relevant settings in the software factory
  • A picture/video of the screen in which the incorrect behavior occurs.

If we have a ticket that is linked to this issue, you will also be kept up to date on when a fix can be expected. Also, if any more (confidential) information seems to be necessary for us to make sure that our solution fully fixes the problem, we have an easy way to share this additional information with one another. 

Alternatively, I could also ask our support team to make the ticket for you, in which case they will reach out to ask for some extra information on this issue. Please let me know if you would prefer this.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Bo Flachs

It is very simple:

Make a domain field T_reference varchar(20), with control Copy to clipboard (Form)
In a table you have a column customer_reference (domain T_reference)

In the subject make sure you set the column editable, and allow to edit in grid

Use a grid only screentype

Try to insert/edit a row, you will see that you can not edit this customer_reference field. 
If you remove the Copy to clipboard control, try again and you can insert/edit the field.
 

On form level it works in both scenarios.

Perfect! It is a great control, once it is fixed I will enable it again!
