So I had been using

navigator.clipboard.readText().then

to get text from Excel + Ctrl-C to the application so I can add rows to the grid.

This still works in Chrome but now no longer works in Firefox. Apparently the API is only available if you are writing an extension.

I see you guys have a lot of clipboard stuff, do you have anything magical we can use to help with this? To have all our clients install a browser extension, will never happen as their PCs are locked down, and while not many use Firefox, this is pretty annoying.

Hi gregc,

We mainly read copy to the clipboard. We don’t (yet) have paste from excel feature. So, this moment is not studied and not resolved. For now there is nothing to suggest, unfortunately.

All the best,
Alex
