P: Ability to access iPadOS clipboard

LEGEND ,
Nov 11, 2019 Nov 11, 2019

If I copy text from outside Photoshop (i.e. another iPadOS app), I can’t paste it into a text layer inside Photoshop. The reverse is also true.

In my case, I wanted to copy chunks of text from my resume (developed in Photoshop), into an online spellchecker — but can’t do so.

Well, apparently the dude who said clipboard cut and paste wasn't on the development roadmap didn't know (cursing removed) he was talking about, because behold: It was on the roadmap because it is functioning right this very minute on my crusty old 2015 iPad Pro:

This is an absolute essential! How am i supposed to edit screenshots and other images, not to mention text from other files etc.? This is very weak.

This is an absolute essential and I cannot believe that is not implemented four years after this issue was created. I want my money back.

How is this still not solved?  

I’m paying for another app just to make caption.  Mematic rocks.

I understand that Adobe is doing their best, but seriously? The ability to paste from the clipboard is absolutely essential to any Photoshop workflow involving text. This should have been in the Alpha version of the product from the very beginning. The fact that it has not been made a top priority and fixed the very second somebody pointed out this problem suggests that one of two things is true. 1) there is some fundamental flaw in the design of the software which makes it impossible to interact with the iOS clipboard, or 2) Adobe really does not care if their products are usable as long as the cash is rolling in. I've been using computers for all of my adult life and this is probably the most jaw-dropping software gaffe I've ever seen. And that is really saying something! Can you please tell us the date when this basic functionality will be included?

Hi @nicolasc82732443 

This is not currently a feature in Photoshop for iPad. I'll move this from "Discussion" to "Ideas".

Should rename it Adobe Photoshop [Removed] Edition. I am dumbfounded by this fail, this is a rock-bottom basic "feature."

It's now 2021 and we still can't copy and paste text. I'm trying really hard not to swear because this renders photoshop COMPLETELY USELESS. 

This is a BASIC FUNCTION. There's no way in hell I'm continuing using this after my free trial is done. I'm on an iPad *PRO* which I got specifically to work PROFESSIONALLY ON.

Photoshop on the ipad needs to be able to copy and paste text from the internet. It's a function that Illustrator on the ipad has and that the computer version of Photoshop has as well.

2 years later and Adobe still has not corrected this.  This is obviously an essential feature for anyone designing with text.  Absurd.

That doesn't let you paste text from notes or anywhere else. You're referring to something else that isn't this.
