Hi All, 

I want the user to be able to copy the value from a drop down box ( Account number 13 characters) so that they can paste into a different to search for information. 

However I can not copy the selected value from a dropdown box. Has anyone got a solution to this they can share with me please. 

Thanks 

Tam

Hi @Tam - If it's in Designer you can use a Browse tool to show this value after the workflow execution:

@Tam - If you want to see the result on the Server, you need to add an Output data tool and write to yxdb.

Hi @ArtApa thanks. I should be more precise in describing the problem I am trying to solve. 

I have an app, where there is a dropdown list of account pair i.e NNNNNNNNNNNNN|nnnnnnnnnnnn. 

The user selects a pair (record) from the drop down. I want the user to be able copy the selected record, so that they can swivel chair into  another application to review these accounts: 

The user then type in their comments and complete the apps. 

I am not sure if this is possible.  

I've attached an app to illustrate.
