Resolution

  • Our Product Management has confirmed that this behavior is intentional to ensure the user enters the right email address and this is common practice in many websites globally.
  • If you wish this to be changed in the future, we do suggest you to create an enhancement request for this.
  • For the enhancement request, you would need to provide a convincing use-case where it makes sense to be able to copy + paste into this field.
  • You can follow the instructions available in the article linked to this case for submitting an enhancement request: 2090228
    • When logging an idea please consider including:

a. A very descriptive title
b. A brief but complete explanation of the idea
c. Your proposal for how it would work
d. What business need, process or problem it addresses

All enhancement requests submitted are thoughtfully considered. Though we may not be able to accommodate every suggestion, we do our best to accommodate ideas which will be a valid enhancement to the system. As peer voting is one of the factors taken into account when reviewing enhancement requests, we encourage you to provide a clear and detailed explanation, so that peers may be able to full understand the request and vote for it, if they too believe it is needed.
