Remove quotation marks when using 'Copy to clipboard' button

Neo4j Graph Platform

When copying a returned query result, it includes "" around the value of the field. Can a toggle be added to disable/enable the copying of the quotations?

I would not expect this to happen, since "" is not actually part of the value in the returned field. When querying graph, I care about being able to copy/export values of properties/labels/relationships, not copy/export tacked-on UI artifacts.

Some additional feedback:

  • Depending on the column size, the tooltip for ‘Copy to clipboard’ covers up a significant amount of the column name, as well as the returned value.

  • Triple clicking to highlight the value of a returned cell also selects the quotation marks. It should not select the quotation marks.

  • Manually drag-selecting the value of the returned cell causes the ‘Copy to clipboard’ button to cover up the last 3 characters of the value you are trying to select, making it difficult to see if you’ve highlighted the correct values.

Hi Samuel, thank you for the detailed feedback.

The quotation marks are part of how strings are rendered in Neo4j Browser results. I understand your point about wanting to copy the raw value without display formatting.

I will share your notes about selection behavior and the copy tooltip with the Browser team for consideration.

Appreciate you taking the time to outline the specific UX concerns.
