Description
Sets whether the clipboard converter is enabled.If enabled, we convert between XML text and FileMaker's XML.
You copy something in FileMaker like a couple of script steps, then switch to a text editor and do some search and replace. Then copy the text again and move to FileMaker to paste it.
If the clipboard doesn't contain XML in the right style, we do nothing.
This applies to copying layouts, script steps, scripts, custom functions, fields, tables and value lists.
