Has anyone added a copy to clipboard button in Sugar?

Hello Dan Petersen , 

A while back I've explored a working approach specifically for the email address field.

There is already a “Copy to Clipboard” element defined in clients/base/fields/email/email.js.
By leveraging that, I was able to get this working by overriding two hbs files:

I've created the following two files: 

custom/clients/base/fields/email/detail.hbs
custom/clients/base/fields/email/email.hbs

You can review the content here:

And this is the resulting behaviour:
Fell free to use it as inspiration and use it to adapt it to your needs,

Hi Andre Serrazina ,

This is exactly what I was looking for so I appreciate the code & screenshot. Is this in version 25? The reason I ask is we recently upgraded to v25 and noticed the default copy email address (right click and copy) function was removed. See screenshot below.

Hi Dan ,

The issue you are encountering is tracked as a bug (95334 - Right Clicking on Email Address no longer shows "Copy Email Address" option). I recommend filing a support case referencing the bug to help Sugar prioritize the importance of this fix. 

Chris

Thank you, Chris! Doing that now.

I will say it's a shame that we keep losing useful features with new releases. We lost a lot of shortcuts in v14 and now this in v25.
