Form data doesn't act like other text on Android

When accessing most text data on Android apps, the long press action links to cut/copy/paste, plus recognises phone numbers emails and web addresses Screenshot_20220504-102753

But the data in the forms in Qfield don't act this way (or at least they don't on my device). Long-press outside of editing the data just does nothing, and long-press when editing seems to just close the keyboard

Mobile (please complete the following information)

  • Device: Sony Xperia X1
  • OS: Android 11
  • QField version: 2.0.10 - Dev (268e5d v2.0.10)

In fact, there's seems to be no way at all to get data from the data form to any other app (I did have a keyboard app once which had a separate clipboard not accessed via long-press, and that worked to copy, but I had to give that up for other reasons).

It would be really helpful to, for example, be able to call a client by just long-pressing on the phone number in the data form attached to their property polygon feature.
