Copying text from Directory information screen

Get Help
1

Hi

Is there a way of highlighting/copying text within the Directory information screen? In this case, I have an admin dashboard (web app) that accesses user information that is in a mobile app. The user inputs a lot of information into the mobile app and I would like to be able to access and highlight/copy that information from the web app.

Currently I am using the Directory component in the web app to access the user’s information but it will not let me highlight or copy the information.

Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Nathan

I believe the LFD has a CSS parameter called ‘user-select’ which disables text selection. You can enable it by overriding the user-select value, note it may use a prefix version as well user-select - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN

If you have a lot of content to copy you may find it better to add a ‘copy’ button that selects the relevant content and copies it automatically to the clipboard. This page might be helpful as it includes Javascript examples user-select - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN

Hi Ian - I have added the parameter (with !important) and it appears when inspecting the element but I still can’t highlight the text. Also, when scrolling down the LFD info component and clicking on text, the screen jumps back to the top.
