Ability to select and copy text from any text in cards

ben_bar

Issue: On many card types (bar chart, pivited sumo card...), you cannot select and copy text fom the card.

 

Idea: Make sure it is possible to copy text from any card where text appears.

 

Business reason: You sometimes want to refer to an item in an email or to paste a reference in a different system. The card gives you the info you want, but you are unable to extract the test, you have to manually type it!

Thank you for submitting this idea @ben_bar.  I am assigning to our product manager @michaelf for review.

Thanks for the feedback @ben_bar! Can you be a little bit more specific about the use case to help me understand a bit better? You should be able to highlight and copy text from tables (see image below).

Hi Michael,

 

The title of my post is "from any text in cards". The example you have chosen is one of the types of card where you can actually select text:

• Column view of the Sumo card (your example)
• Simple table card

On all other cards that I have come accross, it is not possible to select text (pivot view of Sumo card, vertical and horizontal bar charts...)

Oh ok @ben_bar, so you're hoping to actually copy the charts and graphs themselves as well as text from the pivot view of a sumo table, is that correct? I'm able to copy the text even on a bar chart but not the lines of the graph, is that what you are looking for? I'm just trying to understand your use case. Thanks.

Hi @michaelf,

 

Let me put some pictures. I am also running the latest version of Chrome (maybe it behaves differently on different browsers)

 

On Sumo card (pivot view)

I cannot select any of text: Values and caetgories (rows and columns)

 

On horizontal bar charts

Cannot select the series name.

 

On vertical bar charts

I cannot select the lengend
