CRD fields are not selectable

[mcavoyk]

This is a very minor issue - all things considered - but something I attempt to do a lot when building compositions or referencing CRD's is to select the exact field path. The UI instead opens/closes the field definition instead of being selectable. Double clicking to select the section is a bit more reliable, but if the field is required the double click will select <field> required instead of just the field.

Example:

Try to select/highlight the field compositeTypeRef

@mcavoyk Howdy! Are you wanting to basically copy the desired field name to your clipboard? Do you want to select just the field name, the full field path (e.g. spec.compositeTypeRef), or either? We could potentially add a 📋 icon like some sites do now to offer that option

My use-case was around getting the full path for use in compositions, so spec.compositeTypeRef, but selecting just the inner field of compositeTypeRef would be fine as well. Just currently there is no clipboard button and the UI element is not highlight-able.

Hi, i'm also seeking for an option to copy field names with ease and i guess having a copy button would be the best way.
Really looking forward to have a copy option because this is currently a bit annoying.

Thanks

to be able to copy a field (either by selecting or via button) would be a heaven. Full path option is just bonus.

Maybe add a "copy attribute" button would be super helpful

As a temporary solution double click the parent dividing lines to select the field:¹
