Problems with paste formatting

Usually when I want to paste into Front and keep the formatting, all I have to do is select the ‘Paste’ option or Ctrl + V and it does it with no problem. However, the past day or so, anytime I paste from any application into Front, it switches to strips the formatting. This is a huge problem for me with my job, as I am always pasting Excel tables into my emails. I guess somehow the default format is stuck in the composer? I can paste while keeping the formatting in any other application.

 

Has anyone experienced this or has any idea how to fix it??

Hey there!

Thanks for flagging this.

This is actually a known issue we identified yesterday where pasting content (especially from tools like Excel) is unexpectedly stripping formatting in the Front composer.

Our Engineering team is actively working on a fix, and it should be rolled out soon.

Workaround (for now)

In the meantime, a workaround that’s been working well is:

  • Paste the table from Excel into Word (or Google Docs) first
  • Then copy it from there into Front

This helps preserve the formatting while we get the fix out which should be live later today.

Hi,

 

Is this bug happening again? Things were fine until the same problem started again this morning.
