Is there a way to make a button that will copy a value from some field to clipboard?

Next to these buttons?

Hi Relja,

That would need you to inject some javascript into the UI to tell the browser to do it.  Javascript in Cloud is complex and messy, and there's no way for us to do that injection.  You could try to write a browser extension to do it, but that would be limited to your browser and could break on any update to Cloud (which happens every 4-6 weeks usually)

Hi @Relja Mihajlovic , I've wanted the same ergonomic improvement: a way to quickly copy the value of an Issue field to my clipboard by pressing a button.

I created a Jira Cloud App that allows you to copy a customized template of text by clicking a button that appears on the issue view. For example, you can define a custom button that copies the issue description to your clipboard:

The app also allows you to define a custom template so you can add more Issue data and personalize the copied text for any of your custom buttons (including optionally enabling/disabling an embedded link back to the Issue).

The app is called Copy Issue Link and you can find it here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1225783

Hi @Relja Mihajlovic

if you are open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira. While it wouldn't help with the single issue view, it provides full copy/paste capabilities for a list/table view of your issues. This is how it looks in action:

This works for all issue fields, across issue fields, and also between JXL and pretty much any other app. 

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
