I wont to simulate paste event trough javascript as shown on snipped below
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div class="col-xs-10 col-md-9 col-lg-8 form-field input_controls">
<textarea rows="8"cols="60" id="short_description" name="short_description"></textarea>
</div>
<script>
const transfer = new window.DataTransfer();
transfer.setData('text/plain', 'I LOVE YOU');
const element = document.querySelector('[name="short_description"]');
element.dispatchEvent(new ClipboardEvent('paste', {
bubbles: true,
cancelable: true,
clipboardData: transfer
}));
</script>
</body>
</html>
Unfortunately I get no text filled on the textarea above? Any idea why this does not work?
