MACRO: Engine.log Tool, v10.0

One thing I believe could be included is a button to copy the current message to the clipboard

Hi, @alltiagocom. I considered a dedicated button to populate the clipboard with the displayed failure/timeout, but that obviously would increase the width of an already wide dialog. Since I was particularly concerned for those using a low resolution on a laptop, I decided against that option.

I'm aware that the "Console" button can be used to do to that, but it's an extra step that could be removed, especially because it takes longer than a button that just copies the message to the clipboard immediately.

As the Help window indicates, it's the Done button, not the Console button.

And the user could even decide if it shows a notification or not after copying. I always like to have it set that way when I copy things to the clipboard, like this:
✅ XYZ copied to the clipboard!

So the main macro, right after the comment action, could have an action to set a variable to true or false and that would trigger the notification after hitting the Copy to Clipboard button (or not). This would make it easy to change that behavior in the future without diving deep into the macro and try to find the notification.
And it could have another variable action to customize the message being displayed in the notification.

I'm not sure I fully understand your objective, but you can leverage the options described in the header comment in this section: EXECUTING THIS MACRO FROM ANOTHER MACRO AND/OR BY USING APPLESCRIPT

Specifically, you can set the With Parameter to clipboard.

Here's a example that I suspect you could modify to meet your needs.

Note: If you want to execute actions after an Execute a Macro action (like above), you will need to upgrade to Engine.log Tool, Version 9.0.
