v8.0.15

For example, copying this path value will literally copy what you see into the clipboard; it won’t copy the full field value.  
I.e. it copies “Filtration/Rotary Screens/Cards/\_Parts…”  
instead of “Filtration/Rotary Screens/Cards/\_Parts/Sequence”

I’m not sure when this would ever be useful, unless it’s to report the issue here on the forum 😆
