Right-click -> Copy Data should copy TEXT data

Status: Declined

Rather than changing the behavior of Copy Data, LabVIEW 2025 Q3 introduced an "Export Data to Clipboard" command in the Debug Window. Although not the feature that was requested, we believe the Export command solves the problem presented here.

When debugging (and at many other times), I want to copy data from a probe or control into a text file, Excel, whatever.

 

For reasons that I am totally unable to fathom, it copies the control as a bitmap. Print screen provides this functionality already. I think copy data should copy text instead!

I wasn't able to find this on the exchange, sorry if I missed it!

LabVIEW 2025 Q3 introduced the Debug Window, a unified manager for probes and breakpoints. It includes a right-click "Export Data to Clipboard" command:
