Hello , there, I already raised a ticket for this , so you might find it in your backlog…

This id really odd.  
Everything was fine one day to the other , suddendly I am not able to paste anything into the custom JS code of my page model

I hope this is not a feature restriction. It would make it impossible to continue pushing further custom code in JS. Using Publish space , I have a legacy plan

Addendum: after further check I can paste anything from one page to another , not even block groups .

Having the exact same issue, I think it’s a bug, don’t see why they would restrict this.

Yes it would be impossible to code without copy paste as a dev 😅

Does it happen to you on all the page models , what about sections ?

Hello @Ecommfox @Cyrus-Gilani,

We are aware of the copy and paste issue, and our team is actively investigating it to deploy a fix.

In the meantime, using the keyboard shortcuts CMD or CTRL + C and CMD or CTRL + V appears to work as a temporary workaround.

We will share an update as soon as we have more information.

Thanks,
