@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Dec 24, 2025):

This issue happens because the workflow editor uses a custom keyboard shortcut handler that intercepts Ctrl/Cmd+C and overrides the browser's default copy behavior. Unless you're focused in a text input area, pressing Ctrl/Cmd+C will copy the entire workflow node, not the selected text inside it. The copy logic is node-based and does not support copying arbitrary text selections from within nodes, which is why your clipboard ends up with the node object instead of the text you highlighted (source).

Currently, there is no built-in workaround for copying text directly from workflow nodes. If you need to copy text, you can try double-clicking into any editable text field or input area within the node (if available), which should allow standard copy behavior. Otherwise, you may need to manually retype or use browser dev tools to extract the text until this behavior is improved. There are no recent changes or fixes for this in the latest pull requests.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
