Change/Add HTML Text To Button On Click For Multiple Buttons (Alike)

I'm creating 3-4 coupon button with the text "COPY CODE", and when people click on it, it copies the coupon and change the text to "COPIED < span>some svg icon here</ span>" for 2 seconds and then change back to "COPY CODE", and will change again when clicked.

I managed to find Javascripts to copy code, but the code that changes texts are repeating, and I can't use setTimeout() to achieve the 2-second result I want.

Hope you can help me out. Here are my codes:

HTML

<p class="code" id="code10">OFF10</p>
<button onclick="copyToClipboard('#code10');changeText1()" id="button1">COPY CODE</button>

<p class="code" id="code20">OFF20</p>
<button onclick="copyToClipboard('#code20');changeText2()" id="button2">COPY CODE</button>

<p class="code" id="code35">OFF35</p>
<button onclick="copyToClipboard('#code35');changeText3()" id="button2">COPY CODE</button>

Javascript

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
function copyToClipboard(element) {
  var $temp = $("<input>");
  $("body").append($temp);
  $temp.val($(element).text()).select();
  document.execCommand("copy");
  $temp.remove();
}

function changeText1() {
  document.getElementById("button1").innerHTML = "COPIED!";
}
function changeText2() {
  document.getElementById("button2").innerHTML = "COPIED!";
}
function changeText3() {
  document.getElementById("button3").innerHTML = "COPIED!";
}

The scripts above works but they're repeating. And then I tried setTimeout() function but it's not what I expected, and I know I understood this function wrong, I'm not familiar with Javascript, just enough to understand ~10%. Here is the script I tried

function changeText1() {
  setTimeout(function() {
    document.getElementById("button1").innerHTML = "COPIED!";
  },2000)
}

Have found solution for your text change , Refer to this to copy text

function changeText(reed) {
  reed.innerHTML = "COPIED!";
  var reedText = reed.previousSibling;
  navigator.clipboard.writeText(reedText.textContent);
  setTimeout(function() {
    reed.innerHTML = "COPY CODE";
  }, 2000)
}
<p class="code" id="code10">OFF10</p>
<button onclick="changeText(this)" id="button1">COPY CODE</button>

<p class="code" id="code20">OFF20</p>
<button onclick="changeText(this)" id="button2">COPY CODE</button>

<p class="code" id="code35">OFF35</p>
<button onclick="changeText(this)" id="button2">COPY CODE</button>

You do not have to use separate function to change the text, as it will be a major pain when you have a lot of these buttons in your page.

Here is my solution:

HTML:-

<p class="code" id="code10">OFF10</p>
<button onclick="copyToClipboard('#code10', 'button1')" id="button1">COPY CODE</button>

<p class="code" id="code20">OFF20</p>
<button onclick="copyToClipboard('#code20', 'button2')" id="button2">COPY CODE</button>

<p class="code" id="code35">OFF35</p>
<button onclick="copyToClipboard('#code35', 'button3')" id="button3">COPY CODE</button>

Javascript:-

<script type="text/javascript">
    function copyToClipboard(element, button) {
        console.log($(element).text());
        var $temp = $("<input>");
        $("body").append($temp);
        $temp.val($(element).text()).select();
        document.execCommand("copy");
        $temp.remove();

        // waiting some time before changing the text
        setTimeout(function() {
          changeText(button);
        },2000);
    }

    function changeText(button) {
        document.getElementById(button).innerHTML = "COPIED!";
    }
</script>

Here is the final solution.. you don't onclick event in each button go as simple and clear

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('button').on('click', function(){
    var elem = $(this);
    var data_id = elem.attr('data-id');
    var $temp = $("<input>");
    $("body").append($temp);
    $temp.val(elem.prev('div').find('#'+elem.attr('data-id')).text()).select();
    document.execCommand("copy");
    $temp.remove();
    changeText(elem);
  })
})

function changeText(elem) {
  $(elem).text('copied');
  changeBack(elem);
}

function changeBack(elem) {
  setTimeout(function() {
    $(elem).text('Copy Code');
  },2000)
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>


<div>
<p class="code" id="code10">OFF10</p>
</div>
<button data-id="code10" type="button">COPY CODE</button>

<div>
<p class="code" id="code20">OFF20</p>
</div>
<button type="button" data-id="code20">COPY CODE</button>
<div>
<p class="code" id="code35">OFF35</p>
</div>
<button type="button" data-id="code35">COPY CODE</button>
