Has anyone else noticed that the copying and pasting of code / functions in PowerApps seems to have stopped working?

Might just be a temporary thing.. I am using the web editor.

    Noticed the same here. Can't Copy/Paste Code anymore. It was just a few weeks ago all the Power Platform gurus were talking about this

    I noticed that I am not able to select multiple controls when they are on different levels (like a sibbling of a gallery control and one "in" a gallery control).

     

    Copy/Paste works fine in Chrome too for me.

    I just found that copy & pasting still does work when using the Web Studio in Edge! 🙂

    It is still not working using IE or Chrome though.

    Yes I hope this is a bug that will be resolved soon.

     

    Some functions are quite lengthy and having to re-type them instead of copy&pasting would be an annoying exercise..

    What I noticed is that you cannot copy-paste a control when you selected it in the left navigation pane. So you have to re-select it in the screen designer (middle section) to be able to copy-paste.

     

    I don't like this either so hope it's a bug and not 'intended design'?
