Question regarding copy behavior in the pivot table widget

Dear Support Team,

Hope this topic finds you well.
I am writing to ask a question regarding the behavior when copying values in the pivot table widget.

As shown in the attached image, I understand that there are two ways to make selections in the pivot table widget:

  • Selecting a row header
  • Selecting a row

However, when I select a row, copy it, and paste it elsewhere, the pasted result is empty. We have a need to easily copy these values to use them locally. Is it possible to copy the values of a selected row?

On the other hand, if I select a row header, the header text itself is successfully copied. Therefore, I would appreciate it if you could clarify the intended overall behavior for copying in this widget.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards,

Thank you for reaching out with your clear question! The Pivot Table widget is built on top of a table component library, and it inherited the default keyboard shortcut copy behavior from the upstream component. Various aspects of the widget’s implementation resulted in the default copy behavior producing the non-intuitive results you described.

We just merged a change that should make the copy results much more intuitive and useful. It is expected to reach all customer environments by Tuesday, June 2nd.

Thank you very much for addressing this request.

I have confirmed that the update has been reflected successfully. This improvement makes it easier to reuse numeric values in certain scenarios, which is very helpful.

I appreciate your support.
