Copy to clipboard or Share a column's value

Hello,

Is there an action that can be created to copy a value out of a column?

An SMS would be perfect except I need to choose or type in from my contacts where I would like the information to be shared..

I have a Locations Table that concatenates multiple columns to give you a link with the Location Name, and the Google Maps Link. I am looking to share this value to a text or to copy it to the device’s clipboard to paste or share wherever.

The full link would be like this one: To: WJW #3 https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=45.9047,-109.21538

But as you can see with the screenshot, it cuts off the link, you cannot longpress to select the entire text shown either..

There is no action to copy content to the clipboard.

There is an action to send an SMS, though: External: start a text message.

Thank you Steve, I was trying with the SMS but was getting stuck on the “To”.

Open quotes did the trick

Of course, @Steve was correct when he wrote this but now there a very viable option:
