Cannot copy or paste in "New Requirement" form fields

Solved Dave ● 10 years ago

First of all, please delete my prior post, "Cannot paste into 'New Requirement' form fields", as this post replaces it. Apparently, it's impossible to (a) edit a post after a certain period of time or (b) delete your own darn post on Justinmind's Community.

I don't understand why users are prevented from copying from or pasting into the "New Requirements" form (and possibly others) in Justinmind. Sometimes, requirements come via email, instant message, etc: Please allow us to copy and paste into these fields.

Incidentally, here's a workaround for *just* the paste problem. It doesn't help at all with copying. Really, folks, it's not 1980, it's 2014. These problems were solved a generation ago.

1) Be a Mac user

2) Buy and install "Keyboard Maestro"

3) Create a macro that performs the "Insert Text" action

4) Choose "Insert text by typing"

5) Choose "Insert Token > Current Clipboard"

6) Give the macro a reasonable name ( I went with "Overcome Paste Prevention") and hot key trigger (I went with Option-Command-V)

7) Vote for this bug so that Justinmind removes this pitiful restriction, please.
