@jsenecal commented on GitHub (Oct 5, 2023):

Isn't that already supported by netbox/templates/account/token.html#L20 and netbox/templates/account/token.html#L32 -> copy_content.html in the detail view of tokens?

If I understand properly, I think the end goal is to prevent the token to be retrieved after saving in the future. In that case we can create a custom form widget with a "copy" button for the key field.

This can be assigned to me if I understand the end goal properly.
