Copying and pasting styles and elements does not seem to work. The example is for a heading but I’ve experienced the same issue with sections and other elements as well. I’ve attached a link to the birdeatsbug video with audio for your review. ThanksBirdEatsBug video with audio - copy/paste not working

Hi Steve,
Thanks so much for your report, and welcome to the forum!

Unfortunately, I cannot see the video. Can you make it available somehow?

Copy/Paste functionality not working

Apart from tag, type, and style (in the content tab) you have not set anything, right? Then it is clear that nothing is copied because the three settings mentioned are not CSS settings/styles that can be copied.

Alternatively, you can make a global element out of the heading, so that it is reusable including the settings.

Best regards,

Thank you for explaining that to me. I’m new to Bricks and web dev in general. On a similar note, I can’t copy/paste whole elements like a section or a container. I get a ‘(item) copied’ message but trying to paste it somewhere else does nothing. Is this the expected functionality? If not, I can do another video and open a separate thread on just whole element copy/paste functionality. Thanks.

You’re welcome.
For the copy and paste issue in general, please make sure all requirements are fulfilled:

I can tell you what worked for me, what i did was this restarted windows explorer.
