Copy to Clipboard action configuration

Edit the Widget Actions of the widget that will act as the trigger for the clear sort operation. Use the Add Action button to add a new Copy to Clipboard action.

Click the Text to Copy text input field to define the text that will be copied to the clipboard when the action fires. Click on the tokens in the Available Tokens list to include information from the item selected.
