Select and Copying a column's text from a SharePoint list item
We have a modern SharePoint list where a user wants to select and copy the text from one of the column's of an item. The column type is multiple lines of text type and plain text.
When the user views the individual item they can neither select or copy the text from the column. This user and most of our users only have read-only permission to this list. As an admin I have edit permissions and can select and copy the text. Is there a way to allow users with read-only access the ability to select and copy the text from the column?

By default, users with read-only permission cannot edit or copy the text in a multiple lines of text column in a SharePoint list. However, there are a few workarounds that you can try:
Edit the list view: As an admin with edit permission, you can edit the list view to include the multiple lines of text column as a single line of text column. This will allow users with read-only permission to select and copy the text.
Use a third-party tool: You can use a third-party tool, such as the SharePoint Highlighter Chrome extension, to enable text selection and copying in a multiple lines of text column.
Create a calculated column: You can create a calculated column that concatenates the text from the multiple lines of text column into a single line of text. Users with read-only permission can then select and copy the text from the calculated column.
Note that these workarounds may have limitations or require additional configuration, so you should carefully evaluate them before implementing them in your SharePoint environment.
