This article aims to provide a detailed explanation of the problem, its expected behavior, and the steps to reproduce it.

Describe the Bug

The issue at hand is that when you try to paste text into settings fields using the CTRL+V shortcut, nothing happens. This behavior is not limited to settings fields alone; it seems to affect all fields throughout the entire extension.

Click collection ellipsis > Settings: Navigate to the settings of the collection by clicking on the ellipsis (three dots) and selecting "Settings" from the dropdown menu.

Paste data into a field using CTRL+V: Go back to the settings field in the extension and try to paste the copied text using the CTRL+V shortcut.
Result: nothing happens: Unfortunately, the text will not be pasted into the field, and you'll be left wondering what went wrong.
