Copypaste between PowerApps applications does not work anymore

 I have noticed that copying contents between PowerApps applications does not work anymore.

 

I can choose content and type ctrl+C to copy content into clipboard.

But when I go to target application and type ctrl+V nothing happens nowadays.

 

Copypasting with ctrl+C and ctrl+V worked until July 2022 also with me.

But then something happened with Microsoft 365, I guess.

In this autumn I have not succeeded in copy-pasting between PowerApps applications.

 

Can you help with this very "silly" question?

Hi @Omppu,

Could you please tell me that what you want to copy across apps?

 

Actually, I have a test and the situation is confirmed on my side that the control including it’s styling and all of its formulas and properties will be copied when you navigate to another app in the web browser, and use the keyboard command Ctrl+V or Cmd+V. 

 

Copy and paste items across apps is only available in web browsers. There are some known limitations with this functionality: copying screens, data sources, and referenced controls is not supported.

More details, you could check our blog for reference:

Hi, @Qi 

I try to copy normal object like buttons, labels etc.

Earlier this year ctrl-C and ctrl-V copypaste  worked also with me. 

But in the middle of summer copypasting just stopped to work.

 

Today I can still copypaste within same application.

But, if I wanted to mix code from two or more PowerApps application, it is impossible.

ctrl-C and ctrl-V copypasting don't work for me anymore.

 

What has changed?

Is it so that everyone else but me can copypaste between PowerApps applications?

 

Best regards,

Omppu

 

PS. I have used Chrome and Edge browsers. They were fine until this summer.

Hello, I've had this issue for a long time also. I noticed that if I login to my computer using another test account, then the copy-paste works just fine. The only difference with my usual account and test account is language. I too have language set to Finnish and my test account's language is English. I don't know if this is the reason or do I have something else going on with my profile that is preventing copy-paste from functioning.

Thank you, Zarski and TommiM!

Now I know that I am not alone with my copy-paste problem.

There seems to be something wrong with Finnish version of PowerApps Studio.
I already tried to change my PowerApps Studio in English, but that is another problem I should solve.
I don't know how to do it.

I can Copy But the whole code is not working even if I copy a complete app to new version all that is coded in APP > Onstart is not working. I checked all toggles in settings they are the same between the two. No Clue how to solve this. Or Is it the problem that if I set one variable in one app the same variable can't be used in any other?
