Why column control component doesn't have the copy option in the editConfig

[BigT168]

We want to use the copy and paste option for the column control component. Even I added the copy option in the editConfig, it doesn't show up in the dialog. Does anyone know any reason behind that the column control component has no copy/paste option?

its developed with intention of layout & hence copy is not included.  enhancement filled internally CQ5-6250.  reach out to official support channel for further asssistance

http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/current/wcm/using_rich_text_editor.html As discussed here, copy and paste is used in the RTE. See this topic for more info

Thank you for your response.

However we try to use the copy and paste function for a component, nothing to do with RTE. Here is the example code in the _cq_editConfig.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"
cq:actions="[text:My Component,-,EDITANNOTATE,-,INSERT,-,DELETE,-,COPYMOVE]"
cq:dialogMode="floating"
cq:layout="editbar"
jcr:primaryType="cq:EditConfig"/>

However, in the Column control component, the cq:actions has only edit, delete and insert, see below.

cq:actions="[edit,-,delete,insert]"

Even I added the copy and paste, it wouldn't show up for the component.
