Hi,

can you share HTML code of that input field as well as selector you use?

import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys as Keys
import java.awt.Toolkit as Toolkit
import java.awt.datatransfer.Clipboard as Clipboard
import java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor as DataFlavor

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘my textbox’))
WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject(‘my textbox’), Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, ‘a’))
WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject(‘my textbox’), Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, ‘c’))
Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit()
Clipboard clipboard = toolkit.getSystemClipboard()
String result = ((clipboard.getData(DataFlavor.stringFlavor)) as String)
println(‘String from Clipboard:’ + result)
