If you have SharePoint Online, you can "Copy field to clipboard".

Hi Norm

Thanks for your post this is a great feature.

It would be great if this was available in document libraries as well as lists. Do you know if there’s a way to achieve the same thing in a SharePoint Online document library?

Thanks again

Ryan

Hi Ryan_McConville,

Glad I could help.

In document libraries you are limited to "Copy to" and "Move to" functions. There is no way to copy metadata (site columns) to the clipboard. The "Export to Excel" feature in a document library will include the site column info for bulk operations.

I hope this helps.
