In the Windows Client, users could right click on any cell on any list page and select 'Copy Cell Value'. This is often used on 'document numbers', master data 'numbers' to copy the cell value and navigate to another area / application / ...
In the Webclient, 'Copy Cell Value' is no longer possible on (the first column fields of non-editable) list pages. The Ctrl+C is not working either, since the 'document no.' (primary key fields in general) are hyperlinked and cannot be selected to copy. (Tested in Chrome / Edge)
Requested functionality : Please provide a 'Copy Cell Value' in the webclient on (non-editable) list pages that allow copy of any row field value, especially the content of the first column (primary key).

Necroposting here, because I'm finding this to be a significant issue. We're transitioning from NAV to the BC web client, and the lack of ability to copy a single cell is really frustrating for our test groups. It really feels like the software is fighting us rather than helping us - this is a serious step backward. Hard to believe it hasn't been addressed in two and a half years!

Hi to all,
On my opinion it's a "must have" item.
Thanks a lot for this idea.

It would not be so disgraceful to add a copy cell button when passing hover a non editable field, would it?
This feature is available everywhere in the Azure Portal and pretty handy.

Yes, many clients and implementers use this extensively.
