Copy/Paste Record and Access Rights
Depending on the defined access rights and field attributes pasting a record from the clipboard results in the following behavior:
The Paste Record button is deactivated if

- the clipboard does not contain a record from the same (base) info area
- the Expand view is in Edit mode but the user has insufficient update rights.
These conditions are checked again when the paste command is handled.
Field values are not pasted if:
- the field is not part of the Details control
- the field is a Z-field
- the field in the Details control has the
Readonly
attribute set to true. - the field is set to read-only in the data model (Fields > Properties > "readonly")
- the user does not have sufficient conditional access rights for the field (in New mode: Deny New, in Update mode: Deny Update when updating a value or Deny Deletion when deleting a value).
