Recently, I had to create a Context Menu to copy some elements from a list to the clipboard.

Servicenow does that OOTB in a few places, so no need to reinvent the wheel!

Let’s have a look at the UI Action “Copy sys_id”:

runContextAction();
function runContextAction() {
    copyToClipboard(g_sysId);
}

Pretty simple, right?

You just need to use the function “copyToClipboard” and pass the text you want to copy as a parameter.

If you are interested in having a look at the function definition, you can find the code in your instance:

Controls whether journal entries in workspace are displayed as html fields or string fields (true = html, false = string)
