I’ve just checked it in Designer with the default table and it seems to work OK. With `selection.enableColumnSelection : false` the data copied to the clipboard is the whole row. e.g., [{“city”:“Madrid”,“country”:“Spain”,“population”:3233527}] With `selection.enableColumnSelection : true` the data copied to the clipboard is the selected cell. e.g., Madrid`` You can check the selection in `selection.data`while in Designer to see what’s going on. ---

Yeah in the designer there is the prop `selection.data` and show the value of the cell you are selecting, but… in my explorer, not in the designer, the copy option didn’t work neither `ctrl + c` nor `right click -> copy` ---
