Trying to copy-paste some interactions and when I right-click where I want to paste the interaction, the option is ghosted. Need a solution for this, please!

Hi Donni,

 

Thank you for reaching out and sorry to hear that you are unable to paste the interactions in XD.  We don't copy / paste inherited interactions except for when we copy the entire component. The interaction should only be carried over if it was on the main component. 

 

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi Dianad,

 

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your observation with us. I tried copy pasting the interactions  at my end on windows 10 machine and noticed that If I am copying the interaction and pasting it on a same document then paste interaction option is available. However, if i try to copy the interactions and paste into a new document then the option if greyed out. 

 

I would like to confirm if you are trying to paste the interaction within a document or into a new document. We will try our best to help.

 

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi Harshika, thanks for your reply. I am also on a Win10 machine and am working in the same XD document and on the same artboard. I'm trying to copy the interactions from one component state and paste them into a second state within the same component. I also tried copying and pasting them one-by-one and it still won't work.

 

Edit: I just tried pasting an interaction on an element that isn't part of a component and the Paste Interaction is still greyed out. Can't seem to find a single instance where I can paste an interaction.

Can you confirm that you are doing the following?

 

To apply the defined interaction to another object, select the object or the artboard, select copy, click on the destination object or artboard, and in the right-click context menu, select Paste Interaction.

How is organized your component? As I note you are talking about pasting on conponents?

I'm a bit Type A, so my components are pretty well organized. I read the reference you provided and I'm just trying to paste interactions within the same component, albeit different states. For example, I'd like to copy some interactions from State A in Interaction 1 and paste the interactions to an object in State B in Interaction 1. And yes, this is all while in Prototype mode.

 

I feel like doing this really shouldn't be this hard...

Hi Ares,

Here are two screenshots which show the issue I'm facing. The first one is of me copying an object in Prototype mode. The second one shows that the Paste Interaction option is ghosted when I try to paste to a different object within the same interaction on the same Artboard.

Could someone from Adobe Support please provide some help? I haven't heard from anyone on this issue in 2 weeks. It sounds like I'm not the only one having this issue.

I can't get interactions to paste. I posted about this issue a month ago and received a couple of troubleshooting questions from Adobe Support. However, it has now been 2 weeks since I replied to their last question and have yet to receive a reply. Another XD user commented on my post saying she's facing the exact same issue.

 

Here is a link to the post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd/design-paste-interaction-option-is-grayed-out-in-xd/m-p/1098...

 

The link above contains all the screenshots you'll need to answer any questions about the process that's leading me to this issue, I promise.

 

Could someone please reply to this soon? My workflow has slowed down severely and it's frustrating when it takes so long to get a reply from Adobe Support.

 

Thank you.

Hi Diana,

 

We're so sorry for the delay in response. I did check the last post initiated by you with all the details and tried replicating the same and as Harshika mentioned in the last post that we can paste the interaction on the same document(screenshot attached) however unable to do so on a different document. So to identify the root cause, we'll appreciate, if you can share a small video of the workflow that you are following to copy the interaction.

Hi Rishabh,

 

Thank you for your reply. Here is a quick video showing me copying the interaction from an element and being unable to paste the interaction to a different element in the same component on the same artboard:

Please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong since, as you can see, the 'Paste Interaction' option is greyed out.
