Originally created by @opericgithub on GitHub (Oct 16, 2025).

Originally assigned to: @jeremystretch on GitHub.

NetBox Edition

NetBox Community

NetBox Version

v4.4.4

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

Selecting and copying values from columns like Device Role or Status no longer works. Ctrl+C results in nothing being copied.

  1. Go to Devices → List Devices
  2. Make sure "Device Role" or "Status" or "Tags" columns are visible
  3. Select text in one or multiple rows
  4. Press Ctrl+C
  5. Paste

Expected Behavior

Selected text from all columns should be copied to the clipboard.

Observed Behavior

Text from some columns is copied, but from some others isn't.

Additional observations:

The text exists in the DOM but cannot be copied when inside a <span class="badge">. (Device Role, Status, Tags, etc.).
Direct <a> elements inside <td> copy normally.
Likely a regression in frontend handling of badges/links affecting copy-paste functionality.

Copy-pasting from the UI is not a supported workflow, especially considering all the different behaviors across browsers and platforms. You can get a much more predictable tabular output of the current view using the Export button (that's its purpose).

I don't want to bother with export button or export templates when I want to copy only one row.

This seems to be an effect of the Tabler CSS theme, which sets user-select: none for elements with the .badge class. (The underlying Boostrap framework does not.)

We could override this with user-select: text but I can't promise it will copy the content cleanly. (Or, we could override the rule only within a table cell.)
