Hey Kirill,

You can do something like this.

Why would you doubt that the Named Clipboard was properly set?

So, there are two issues concerning Clipboards:

  1. Did the System Clipboard change as a result of a Copy Action?
  2. Was a Named Clipboard set correctly?

You do NOT need to set the System Clipboard to determine if it has changed.
The KM function CLIPBOARDSEED() will change if the Clipboard has changed.

So, here's a macro that addressed both issues.
Please let us know if this answers your question.

These Options have already been set in the Copy Action in the below Macro:

Hey guys!

Both answers are correct.
JMichaelTX has solved my question perfectly, Ccstone's answer is also great but the macro needs to be a little bit modified, that's what i am going to do. :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot for your help @ccstone, @JMichaelTX
