Paste feature not working

Briefly describe (1-2 sentences) the Bug you’re experiencing:
I am a long time Asana user so this is an issue that just started recently when you updated system recently.

When cutting and pasting from other programs / my computer area -Asana is making it an attachment only which is not good when I am trying to paste a link.

Even when using Ctrl K to create a link - put in text then go to paste the link address it still does same thing.

Steps to reproduce:
go to any task and paste a link - surprised I am even having to report this bug

Browser version:
Google Chrome is up to date
Version 84.0.4147.105 (Official Build) (64-bit)

UPDATE: I have now narrowed it down that this is happening when working with Microsoft one note windows 10.

I have NOT tried every program I use yet but this seems the main culprit so far. THIS IS STILL A BIG ISSUE SINCE I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM TILL RECENTLY

Hi @DGW, welcome to the forum and sorry for the trouble here!

Just to make sure I understand the issue, when you mention you are cutting and pasting / your computer area, do you mean you are copying and pasting a text or taking a screenshot of your browser computer?

Can you please also try the steps in this article and let me know if the issue persists?

Looking forward to your reply!

Hello! This is also happening for me too.
When I try to paste a few sentences that I typed in OneNote, it pastes as an attachment in Asana. I am trying to paste specifically the text. Has there been a resolution for this? Thank you so much for your time in advance.

I’m running into this issue too. I see that 2 years have passed. Is there a way to resolve the OneNote copy/paste from becoming an attachment vs simply pasting the text in an Asana comment or task update?

Agree, this issue is quite frustrating

I have a colleague that has run into the same problem. A workaround, while tedious, is to copy into outlook (or some other text program) and then paste into Asana… or alternatively, i was able to paste normal by “right click” in asana and “paste as plain text”
