Copy-Paste Controls Broken in Dataverse for Teams – YAML Clipboard Error

(3) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Since early April 2025, I'm consistently encountering an error when trying to copy and paste controls in a Dataverse for Teams Canvas App. The error message is:
"The clipboard doesn't contain any YAML code to paste."
This happens in the following scenarios:
Copying a control using Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V
Right-click > Copy / Paste
Copy-pasting within the same screen or app - this is not copying from different apps, it is the same screen and just wasting a label for example and pasting it next to it.
Using both the Teams desktop client and Teams web app (teams.microsoft.com)
Environment:
Platform: Dataverse for Teams (I cannot use make.powerapps.com)
Editor: Power Apps Studio within Microsoft Teams
Browsers tested: Edge and Chrome
Clients tested: Teams desktop and browser
Impact: Cannot copy and paste any controls. All components must be rebuilt manually.
Workarounds Tried (but unsuccessful):
Restarting Teams (fully quitting and reopening)
Using keyboard shortcuts instead of context menu
Trying in different browsers
Copying simpler controls
Clearing the clipboard
Request: Is this a known issue or a regression introduced in a recent update? Are there any available fixes or workarounds?

    Have you tried this on a different computer?

    I have tried on another PC and the same issue exists, also using another users login. The issue also exists on the application from Teams and if I do it from teams.micrsoft.com.
     
    I can't use make.powerapps.com as I am using Dataverse for Teams.

    I started getting this yesterday. Today I found that if I use keyboard shortcuts only (Cmd-C & Cmd-V), it work as expected. For some reason Power Apps Studio can't detect we're copying a control when using pop-up menu.

    Same issue, even keyboard shortcuts do not work in PowerApps for Teams. Won't paste YAML from the clipboard either.

    Quit Teams, restart Teams. Try now. This worked for me.
