Hello all --
In one of my forms, it would be very useful if I could have a form question
output a chunk of text (which had been assembled using calculations/hidden
fields) ... But when this text is output on the smartphone on the commcare
form page, it is possible for the user to select-all and copy-and-paste
that text into somewhere else on the phone.
How could that be done? Is there some way to inject 'default text' into a
normal text-input field... which, because it was appearing in an inputtable
field, could be copy-and-pasted from? or some other means of outputting
text into the form on the phone in a copy-and-pasteable way?
thanks!
Eric
Just pinging this thread... is there any way to do this? Would allow me to
be pretty effective at getting information shared with another app, which
is a cool challenge to develop a new method for...

Hey Eric,
Unfortunately that's not currently possible - you can set a default value
for a given text field, but that value can't be a calculation. I would
recommend posting an idea on our Uservoice about allowing you to copy and
select text in a label.
Thanks,
Sheel

Eric,
Can you file a bug report on this? You should definitely be able to
copy/paste text from the app that you're using in a Label.

Hi Eric,
As of CommCare ODK 2.22, you can enable labels to be selectable via the
form builder by changing the Appearance Attribute of a Label from
minimal to selectable.
I've added a more detailed documention in Advanced CommCare ODK Formatting
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Advanced+CommCare+ODK+Formatting#AdvancedCommCareODKFormatting-SelectableLabels
I hope this helps!

HEY! This is big news -- I appreciate it much. This adds another tool to
the kit when it comes for our app to "play cooperatively" with other
apps... now there's a chance that perhaps cutting and pasting (in one
particularly crucial text field) is one method among many to solve such
issues.
Giant thanks --
