Paste not working in Libre Base

[katiepearlhunter]

Good morning.
I’m using Libre Base, in Libre Office 25.2.4.3
How can I get paste to work?
I have tried Control C, Control V, result - nothing
Also tried the copy and paste icons in the tool bar, copy seems to work but then paste command is not available.
The database is not read only, I am writing into it and saving it as normal.
Any advice appreciated.

Can you give a bit more context? What are you pasting into what?

You can copy a cell range from a spreadsheet or the icon of a database table or the icon of a database view.
Then you can select the icon of the target table and paste.

A dialog pops up where you have to consider:
If you want to paste the copied data into the existing table:

1. The table name has to be the name of the target table.
2. Option “Append Data” checked.
3. The next step allows mapping the incoming columns to the existing columns.

If you want to create a new table:

1. The table name has to be a new table name.
2. You can choose to paste the column structure or the structure with data.
3. The next step allows specifying all the details for the columns to be created.

Thanks for your replies.
I rebooted the computer and all was well!

I have (almost) the same problem. Version 24.8.7.2 on Windows 10.
I’m populating a table in Base. Ctrl-c works, but ctrl-v doesn’t do anything. So I have to right-click, scroll, select paste, which is a lot slower.

Base error "Missing Selection" when creating relationships between tables + ctrl+v not working sometimes

Hi everyone. I’m currently looking forward to develop a .odb database for a historical research project about land markets in XV century italy and I’ve already designed some db structures that could be useful and are working as intended once they get implemented on Microsoft Access. I’d prefer to develop a db using the .odb format because of its non proprietary characteristics, but I’m currently stuck at ground level. This (see the image attached) is the error message I get when I create a rela…

Edits:

• I tried a restart, but that didn’t help.

• Ctrl-C from a cell in the Base table followed by ctrl-v anywhere else (google, email, a base form) works fine. The only issue is ctrl-v in the table.
