Hi @zxcv1884 this is working perfectly fine for us, will you be able to provide more details to help us identify the issue.

@zxcv1884 if you are using it without SSL, then the copy function doesn't works. I have faced this in other self hosted services too.

After applying SSL, it started working properly.

I haven't tested the same with Plane but I am also not able to copy any text as I haven't enabled SSL.

@zxcv1884 it is working after applying SSL only
due to some browsers restrict clipboard operations on non-secure (HTTP) sites due to security policies

Thanks for the information!

If clipboard operations fail due to the lack of SSL, I believe it would be better not to show a "Link copied" alert, as it might confuse users. It would be helpful to display an error message instead.

Additionally, as a suggestion, even if the copy action fails, it might be useful to show the actual link so that users can copy it manually.

Hi @zxcv1884 That makes a lot of sense. We’ll work on a solution to handle this scenario more gracefully and plan to include it as part of our next release.

Can I resolve it? @pushya22

Update:
I found that the Copy link functionality doesn't work when the task is displayed in the sidebar. However, if I open the "Work Item in full screen", the link can be copied successfully.

Hi @zxcv1884 we are actively working on a fix, will be released as part of next patch.
