Since InDesign 2019, when copying value, InDesign sometimes crashes.

No clue why. I removed the two startup script I uses, and it still does the same thing.

Any clues?

I was lazy, and wished it would be fixed in the next version. But it never happened.

It's not broken. Because it's always worked for me.

So it's something on your system.

Try starting in Safe Mode and only launch InDesign and see if the problem persists.

If it does - then it's something else on your system.

Or you can try IDMLing - export as IDML, then open and save with a new name.

It does the same behavior on any file.

Are you trying to copy FROM or paste INTO the field?

Try resetting your preferences:

Windows: Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
macOS: While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
A dialog will appear asking to delete the InDesign Preferences, select 'Yes' on this dialog.
