Thanks

Hi @mpmohi,

You can easily copy the changeset data by adding a new button to the toolbar. Set its event handler to “Copy to clipboard” and use the appropriate value based on what you want to copy:

  • For changesetArray:
{{ JSON.stringify(table4.changesetArray) }}
  • For changesetObject:
{{ JSON.stringify(table4.changesetObject) }}

Here's a reference screenshot showing it working perfectly:

Just to add my two cents—if you need to use the "Copy to Clipboard" functionality within your JavaScript logic, you can use:

utils.copyToClipboard(JSON.stringify({ /* data to copy */ }))

I often use this approach in various scenarios, such as copying the .data property of a resource for testing, analysis, or comparison purposes. It’s a simple and effective way to quickly access structured data during development.

hi @WidleStudioLLP and @rh25170 thanks for both your approch .

While both way we can achieve this, my point is : if we can have a button on the state (in retool itself) to copy these values , this will be helpful in develepment and debugging time.
