Keep subtitle when copying visuals

It would be great if when a visual is copied, the subtitle is included. The hover says 'copy image with caption', so this may be by design, however users would expect a visuals subtitle to be include...

    Hi helenodonnell ,

     

    I completely agree, this is a valid point and slightly confusing for many users.

    The "Copy image with caption" feature is technically designed to add a metadata text block below the image (containing filters and data context), rather than preserving the specific "Subtitle" formatting element located under the Title in the Visual Header.

     

    Since the "Subtitle" is a relatively new formatting addition compared to the legacy "Title," the copy function doesn't always render it exactly as "What You See Is What You Get."

    My Suggestions:

    1. The Workaround: Until this is native, the most reliable way to capture the visual exactly as it appears (with Title, Subtitle, and spacing intact) is simply using the Snipping Tool (Win + Shift + S). It renders 100% of the pixels you see.

    2. The Request: This is excellent feedback for the product team. I recommend posting this on the Fabric Ideas forum so we can vote for it to be included in the standard copy behavior:

    Hope this clarifies why it is behaving that way for now!
