Pasting a string anywhere on a Screen and save it into an entity or recorded as input text

0
Hi everyone,   I’m trying to implement some sort of a smart scanning feature on a mendix page. So for example, I will copy a text from other place (example: notepad), then paste in anywhere on a mendix page, then it will automatically save the paste result to an entity or at least recorded as an input. Is there any component that we can use or how can we achieve this?   Thanks in advance.   Best regards,   Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

 

You can use the simple text box and on leave event you can save the data .

You can paste your text in a textbox and call a microflow for on-change or on-leave events.

In the microflow you can parse the string to extract ‘John’ from U*John* and set the username or chosen attribute = ‘John’ and refresh the page
