TM1WEB copy&paste without addon

Post by jaygabjoe »

Dear tm1-users,

is there a possibility to enable copy&paste in TM1-WEB without installing the TM1 Web Clipboard Extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... extension/ ? Since I work with firefox/edge instead of explorer the browser settings disable copy&paste in tm1. If I try to copy/paste it says "Clipboard is disabled from your browser. local data is used"
Thanks

The clipboard is blocked in modern browsers, edge, chrome, Firefox for security reasons (IE is an old/deprecated browser and so doesn't have this security feature).

The recommended solution is to install an extension which will grant permission to access the clipboard for the individual application, here tm1.

You may find links to the extensions here:

There may well be workarounds such as disabling java script, but I would recommend sticking with the plugin.

The only browser where copy/paste works in TM1Web is Internet Explorer.

This really sucks but this is the reality!
