For this week I tried coping a group of text styles and colour styles from a file but i always get the”Copy Failed. Your selection might be too large for the clipboard”  error so i tried it for a single text style and the same error was displayed and i did the same for a single colour style and i still couldn’t copy the style
this is a huge problem for me can anyone help me with a fix for it?

Update: We reproduced the error message reported here, and engineering is now investigating the root cause.

Thanks for reporting this — we'll update this thread once engineering has more to share.

    This is happening to me as well on MacOS 26.5.2 (25F84)

      Hi ​@Tom Reem 
      Thank you very much to you and the technical team for your continued support.

      The copy-paste method using the keyboard shortcut works, and I think it's a very effective temporary workaround until the issue is fully resolved.
