Using Siri to run scripts

[Marcus]

Maybe I‘m missing something, a basic question how to use Siri to run a script.

I am in the record edit view and want to copy a field value to the clipboard.

The script works fine by executing manually:

function Clipboard() {
var title_id = 'fld-76b2c64fccc34c20b62b7d485f5bfa28';
var clip = record.getFieldValue(title_id);
Utils.copyTextToClipboard(clip);
return clip;
}

Clipboard();

I added this script to Siri, the result is just
„.undefined“

(iOS, iPhone)

Siri executes scripts in a form context not a record context. Siri doesn’t have the context that Tap Forms is executing in and the intent that is being executed I believe is distinct from the main Tap Forms application. This is part of the way Apple have implemented the Siri support.

I also have struggles using Siri with clipboard access, scripts invoked from Siri don’t seem to have access to the clipboard but when I run those same scripts manually they are able to pull the clipboard properly. I’m not sure if writing to the clipboard would have a similar problem.

Okay, thanks.
Sounds like Siri will be useless for me in this case.
