Title: Copy Element Listing to Clipboard
Post by: Rob_J on April 16, 2011, 02:43:53 am

Hi,

I need to be able to copy / paste from EA into programs like Excel or Project. I was able to list my use cases out in a nice grid, but there is no COPY function. I have a small project so I can re-type into Excel but if I had hundreds of use cases that will wear out quick. I tried to write a custom report template, but all those are block style.

Any ideas if this is possible? If not please consider it a suggestion / enhancement request.

Thanks, Rob

Search results can be copy/pasted, so if you create a search that returns the results you need then you can copy/paste the info.

Thanks Geert, that worked although I had to fiddle a bit with the search criteria to get my items. I was also able to make a listing report that put my fields on a single line separated by commas but it requires constantly re-generating the document.
