Dear all,
Please take a look at the following GIF animation:
As you can see, I am not able to copy and paste a template in the visual table editor. Instead of creating a proper copy of the template, it only produces an enlarged empty cell.
Can anyone confirm this problem?
Thankfully,
-Robert
Not just right-click. Selecting the templated-cell and using the keyboard to copy-paste produces the same result.
Trying with the table at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS#Vendors_and_products, Ctrl+C – Ctrl+V works for me, but only when copy-pasting a templated cell over a templated cell. (There's no "Copy" option in the context menu when right-clicking at all.) Trying to paste a templated cell over a normal cell clears its contents, and trying to paste a normal cell over a templated cell completely wrecks the table. (Chromium 54 on Windows 10)
So, the paste data is:
<meta charset='utf-8'><table class="wikitable sortable" id="mwBg">
<tbody id="mwBw"><tr id="mwGw">
<td style="background:#9F9;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;" class="table-yes" typeof="mw:Transclusion" about="#mwt2" data-mw="{"parts":["|",{"template":{"target":{"wt":"Yes","href":"./Template:Yes"},"params":{},"i":0}}]}" id="mwFw" data-ve-no-generated-contents="true" data-ve-attributes="{"style":"background:#9F9;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;","typeof":"mw:Transclusion","about":"#mwt2"}">Yes</td></tr>
</tbody></table>This, plus having a clipboard key, trips all the relevant flags for it to attempt TableAction.importTable. The contents of the existing cell are removed, the attributes from the transclusion-cell are copied onto it, and then the (empty) data of the transclusion cell is added.
...this doesn't work out very well, I think because just applying the attributes is insufficient to actually change the cell into a TransclusionNode.
