Bases: Multi-cell selection - unable to paste text a from formula property to a text property

Bug reports
1

In a base, you can select multiple cells of a text property and paste them into a selection (of the same size) of another text property and each individual cell value is pasted as expected.

But when you copy the contents of a formula property selection and try to paste it into a text property, nothing is pasted.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a sandbox vault.

  2. Create a new base.

  3. Create a new formula property “Formula”: file.basename.

  4. Create a new text property “Pasted”.

  5. Drag-select 3 cells from the “Formula” property and hit Ctrl+C.

  6. Drag-select 3 cells from the “Text” property and hit Ctrl+P.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide?

Yes.

Expected result

The formula results of the formula property are pasted as plain text into the cell selection of the text property.

Actual result

Nothing happens.

I cannot make edits yet, so here are two corrections…

Step 6 is supposed to read:

  • Drag-select 3 cells from the “Pasted” property and hit Ctrl+P.

I reproduced the problem in a fresh sandbox vault with the following debug info:
