Adding paste functionality to form composer fields

Contribute Bug

Hello

Are there plans to allow copy and paste in text input fields in the future? As is the case when creating a message without a form template.

Could you elaborate further on this? Thanks.

Of course.

Nowadays, when you create a post, it’s very easy to copy and paste images, GIFs and so on. Here’s an example using the following GIF to illustrate this:

This feature is used in most posts on our forum.

Suppose I now have the following form template:

- type: input
  id: version
  attributes:
    label: "Framework version"
    description: "Which version are you using ?"
    placeholder: "e.g. 3.0.10"
  validations:
    required: true
- type: composer
  id: description
  attributes:
    label: "Description"
    placeholder: "What brings you here?"
  validations:
    required: true
- type: composer
  id: steps-to-reproduce
  attributes:
    label: "Steps to reproduce"
    placeholder: "1. Go to ... \n2. Click on ... \n3. See error"
    description: "Provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue"
  validations:
    required: false
    minimum: 20
    maximum: 2000

I would also like to be able to copy and paste content into “composer” fields. Nothing happens when I press Ctrl + V

Interesting. What works is I toggle to the WYSIWYG editor, pasting the image works fine, which I can then switch back to the Markdown editor. This looks like a bug…

EDIT: The image shows up, but it doesn’t look like it’s an upload.

Similar but different, you can allow uploads:

- type: upload
  id: image-uploads
  attributes:
    file_types: ".jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .webp, .svg, .tiff, .heic"
    allow_multiple: true
    label: "Lorem ipsum"

Yes, actually, I’d seen that, but when you want to include screenshots in a description, it makes it harder to read. And besides, copying and pasting is much quicker.
