# allowsCopyingTokens

A Boolean that indicates whether the user can copy or drag tokens from the search field.

## Declaration

```swift
var allowsCopyingTokens: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default value for this property is true. To support copying tokens, allowsCopyingTokens must be true and the search field’s delegate must also implement searchTextField(_:itemProviderForCopying:). UISearchTextField enables the Copy command when a user selects text, even if the selection also includes tokens and allowsCopyingTokens is false.
