I find myself copying checklists and bullets to other applications (like plain text, MS Teams, Slack) from Fibery (I’m a Windows user, btw), however: - **copy-paste of checklist works badly** (no bullet signs, linebreaks often disappear, checked state not captured) - **copy-paste of bullets does not work well** (no bullet signs) Maybe the export works better, but for daily work I want quick copy-paste. Can this be fixed? Not the end of the world, but occasionally really annoys me. It’s easier to show than tell (hopefully you’ll see gif-animations below) 😉 # Copy into Plain text editor _Notion does it right_ ![bullets-checklists-to-plain-notion](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/d/db0a13936cc0ffe544b1c22123518e107f79d37d.gif) _Fibery_ - Chrome (gif): bullets ok, checklists get linebreaks but nothing else - Firefox: bullets ok, checklists lose linebreaks (=everything smushed into one line) ![bullets-checklists-to-plain-fibery](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/d/d60ada09946be6b6d637d47dfff84398eee368c2.gif) # Copy into Slack message _Notion_ ![bullets-checklists-to-rich-slack-notion](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/6/62f9b4675506b891987cefb7fa1e2f2ae44b271b.gif) _Fibery_ - Chrome (gif): bullets ok, checklists get linebreaks but nothing else - Firefox: bullets ok, checklists get linebreaks but nothing else ![bullets-checklists-to-rich-slack-fibery](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/e/ed67767beb0f44187e421c2204cca8ff048f955e.gif) # Copy into MS Teams message _Notion_ ![bullets-checklists-to-rich-msteams-notion](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/c/c35dfd5ed27d4f53788e7f4144663b3c83d7b49c.gif) _Fibery - checklists paste broken for both Chrome and Firefox_ - Chrome (gif): bullets ok, checklists lose linebreaks (=everything smushed into one line) - Firefox: bullets ok, checklists lose linebreaks (=everything smushed into one line) ![bullets-checklists-to-rich-msteams-fibery](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/a/a673fb16767c1ae7aa263766de54ac32f41d0c7c.gif) Slack seems to handle copy-paste the best. Maybe it all works on MacOS? 🤔 Tests were done on Windows 10, with Chrome and Firefox. ---

Hi! Many thanks for the report 🙂 We definitely have issues with copy-pasting checklists. Bullets at least on Mac are ok. We also checked that Notion really does it better but we have only linebreaks for them ( no checked/unchecked signs). We failed to reproduce losing linebreaks. Maybe it’s something Windows related only, so we will continue the investigation. Added bug to the backlog, many thanks for the report! 💖 ---

Thanks Polina! 😀 Super appreciate if you nail down the lost linebreaks that was hard to reproduce on your end, maybe a Windows thing as you said. Lost linebreaks is such a pain, as long as linebreaks are there its at least readable and its easier to add whatever was lost (bullets etc). ---

For housekeeping - I see this issue (or it seems to be the same/very similar) was reported earlier. Don’t want to bump that old post but if someone wants to merge or similar, we had a report from 2021 here (also a Windows user!): > [@Lost line breaks when copy/pasting checkboxes as plain text](https://community.fibery.io/t/lost-line-breaks-when-copy-pasting-checkboxes-as-plain-text/1562): > > Something seems to have changed in how check box text is copied into the clipboard (Windows 10) and somehow line breaks are no longer preserved when converting to plain text. This is a minor thing, but it was an oddly important part of keeping my workflow smooth for meeting notes. We use checkboxes for meeting agenda items, so we can check them off when we’re done discussing each one. We also take notes in a separate section below, with each agenda item as an H3. So we’ll usually create a set o… ---

Reproduced today: I still have these issues on Windows Chrome and Firefox. ---
