Paste functionality not working after update

[vi_lam1901]

I recently updated to Version: 2025.1.1.27 and I can no longer copy/paste in chunks of workflow from one Alteryx workflow to another. I have tried using both the keyboard shortcuts and clicking on Copy/ Paste in Edit.

@vi_lam1901 it worked for me just fine in that same version... what error are you getting?

I would suggest restarting your machine / check if you really copied (sometimes the CTRL key + C key may not be working because it’s a hardware problem or maybe you didn’t click CTRL key) / reinstalling Alteryx as a last resort. 

if all else fails, submit a ticket to Alteryx support and they can assist.

I'm able to copy chunks within the workflow but unable to paste. neither ctrl+v nor Edit> Paste works :(

This is a unique problem indeed... it is the first time I hear of such a thing.

Just to confirm, is your copy paste working outside of Alteryx? 

[vi_lam1901]

yes my copy paste works fine in other apps. it's just Alteryx that's giving me this issue.

[caltang]

I would suggest logging a ticket to Alteryx support then. Because I don’t think there’s a setting control that disables copy pasting on Alteryx, so I doubt you activated it by accident too. 

I suppose you can also try reinstalling Alteryx or downgrading a version to see if it still persists.

I have the same issue, but I am in an older version.  It started about 3 weeks ago for me.

[vi_lam1901]

It kind of resolved itself after I restarted the application a couple times. I think the new version is just super buggy and unpredictable.

I am also experiencing intermittent issues with the copy/paste functionality no longer working in Alteryx. It weirdly comes and goes, regardless of which version I am using. Only started happening within the last few weeks like j1fergu mentioned. Has anyone been able to find the crux of this issue?
