Windows: short answer - No.

The clipboard data being pasted into calibre metadata must have been put there by the calibre copy metadata tool; with nothing in between such as a text editor or a clipboard extender. Why, because it's highly structured data in a format that is specific to calibre; text editors, clipboard extenders etc have editing features.

The above is based on my observations using Notepad, Notepad++, and Clipboard Fusion from Binary Fortress.

I haven't tried pasting from the Windows clipboard history stack, see ==>> How to Enable and Use Clipboard History on Windows 10.

I use calibre's metadata copy and paste several times a day, on most days of the week.
