This behavior alows non-editable field members to use the Ctrl + C, command for copy. This is not a variable, it actually writes to the windows clipboard so the data is available to other fields as well as other programs. Note- this will only work with field members, not text members and it does not function correctly in authoring mode, only in projectors. Requires the Copy key down script.
