Why does updating your advanced action clear the clipboard in Captivate 9?

[mikewilday]

When I am working on Captivate 9 advanced action and I want to copy and paste an action from one action to another, CP9 clears the clipboard EVERY time I click update action. Why? I have to update several actions and have to copy the line each time I update one action and want to add it again to another.

It didn't work this way in CP8. The clipboard stayed even after updating an action. Please advise!

Sorry to disagree! It has always been like that, from the start of advanced

actions in its present configiration.

Hi Lillybiri,

This screencast of Captivate 8 shows that I can use the Cmd+V on Mac or Cntrl+V on the PC to continue pasting the copied line from Advanced actions and update actions but keep pasting, even into other actions.

To be honest, I think Keyboard shortcuts are what are missing. I can't seem to use keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste actions in advanced actions. : \
