Arc - Subset Editor - must click Name header to paste elements from Excel

Hi,

It is currently not easy to paste elements from Excel into the Subset Editor. I have simple list of elements in Excel:

When pasting these elements from Excel, you would clear the selection and then paste the elements in the subset editor.

However afer clearing the list of elements, the only way to paste elements is to click on the header Name, clicking on other location (in red) does not work:

Even clicking Paste does not paste the elements:

This can be frustrating and I heard some users think that it is not possible to paste from Excel.

Expected behavior.

1. Clicking Paste should paste the elements
2. Clicking on other location (top left corner or the rows header) should paste the elements as well

Cheers,

Vincent

added enhancement subset-editor labels

assigned to @aeremenko

added arc label

marked this issue as related to #2815

I have updated paste function for paste button in toolbar, so it reads data from clipboard (this may require to allow chrome to read clipboard). Now when there are no elements in the list, it is possible to click on paste button an insert elements from the clipboard.

At the moment, I find it a bit challenging to catch paste event without the table being in focus and also direct the action into the active tab (if there are multiple tabs). If I do figure this out and I will put the fix in the future releases.

Thanks,
Andrey

changed milestone to %review

Hi @aeremenko, I have tested this and it seems to be working.

The first time I tried it, I got the following message:

I'm not sure if that was just an issue with rebuilding the web assets, though.

I'll merge this, as it has tested successfully many times since.

changed milestone to %4.6.0
