Description:

• Importing a previously exported loadout will result in the message Wrong format provided. This only happens in multiplayer as copyFromClipboard is being used for import.

Where did the issue occur?

• Dedicated

And as copyToClipboard is being used. Which doesn't work in MP because BI intentionally blocked it...
BI's fault.

Or we make a UI with text box where you can paste stuff in. You can paste stuff in although clipboard is disabled right?

Should probably atleast disable the import button in MP.

Pasting should work fine

As there is already ace_clipboard reading from clipboard could be added there and then be used instead of BI's commands. Beside of that, if something is not working by design the user should not be able to interact with it. This error is just confusing because you could think it's a fault on your end.

I'm completly against adding import to ace_clipboard. For the same reason why it was not added when it was created.
Also I don't see why one would import from clipboard in MP. So adding a extra UI dialog with a text box to paste stuff seems too much work for the 3 people that might use it.

So I guess just disable the Import button then.

true, added to my todo list.
