Hello,

I got a WebGL build with several UI Editbox on a canvas with all the needed bells and whistles on it.

I need to put a fairly large amount of text into several edit box, so of course its easier to paste it from lets say notepad, but paste doesnt work!!

I’m using Unity 5.4.0b24 Personal.

Anybody knows if im doing something wrong?

Does it work in a later version?

I really need PASTE to work because i cant force the user type in all this text everytime, they will not want to use this after doing it even once!

Thanks!

Copy & Paste does not work in Unity WebGL text fields, due to security restrictions on accessing the clip board from JavaScript code, and the way the event loop in Unity is set up. This is not something we can easily fix. The recommended workaround is to use an html text field instead, like this plugin does: Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making
