> [@\[Investigating\] Obtrusive team code tracking when copying from chat](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/obtrusive-team-code-tracking-when-copying-from-chat/56458): > > Platform, device version and operating system: Steam, Windows 7. Screenshot or image: Unnecessary, can provide video if needed. What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened: I expected “Paste Team” to always auto-insert the team code I have currently on my clipboard. Instead, it prioritizes the last thing clicked in chat, no matter how long ago that was and no matter how many teams I put on my clipboard between then. How often does this happen? When did it begin happening… At the time, clicking the team code would copy to clipboard so I could copy it _out_ of the game as well as put it in the internal game buffer. Now, it doesn’t. My original issue remains - clicking a team code from chat puts it in an internal game buffer that has priority over clipboard and can’t be changed without clicking another team code from chat, this will take priority every time you try to use paste team. The only way to clear this buffer is the restart the game. To sum up, both issues would be solved if: - Clicking on a team share code should always copy it to your clipboard (regardless of chat or troops screen) - Clicking on “Paste Team” should always use the team code on your clipboard. The game buffer override should only be used in instances where the device’s clipboard or equivalent feature can’t be accessed by the game code for whatever reason (consoles, or maybe just Nintendo Switch?). --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/investigating-copied-text-from-guild-chat-does-not-go-to-device-clipboard/59143)._
