Closes #381

Problem

In the event details popup, long values are truncated with no way to read or copy the remainder. Two separate gaps in KeyValueGrid:

  1. The tooltip was string-only. title={typeof item.value === 'string' ? item.value : undefined} — so object values (which render as JSON.stringify(...)) and numbers got no tooltip, which is exactly the case in the screenshot on the issue.
  2. No copy affordance in the popup. KeyValueGrid already supports a copyable prop, but event-details.tsx never passed it, so neither of its two grids rendered the copy button.

Change

  • Adds a shared toStringValue() and uses it for both the title tooltip and the clipboard, replacing the inline stringify that lived in the copy handler.
  • Passes copyable on both grids in the event details popup.

Behavioural notes: 0 and false now produce tooltips rather than being dropped, and a circular object degrades to no tooltip instead of throwing out of the render path. null/undefined still yield no tooltip.

The copy button already calls e.stopPropagation(), so it doesn't trigger the row's filter-on-click.

Scope

Deliberately minimal. The View JSON toggle added for Properties already covers part of this for that section, but the Information grid has no equivalent, and neither had a copy button. This fixes both without touching the layout.

Happy to go further if you'd prefer a real expand-on-click or a scrollable value cell — I kept it to the tooltip + copy path since row clicks are already bound to setting a filter, so click-to-expand would need a different affordance.

Verification

Honest caveat on this one: apps/start is excluded from the vitest workspace ('!apps/start') and has no test files, so I haven't added tests — happy to if you'd like the helper covered somewhere it would actually run.

What I did check:

  • tsc --noEmit on apps/start produces a byte-identical error list before and after the change (385 pre-existing errors, 0 new).
  • biome check on both touched files reports the same 25 pre-existing diagnostics before and after. Left alone deliberately, per the "don't format yet" note in the repo.
  • toStringValue exercised directly across string / long string / number / 0 / false / null / undefined / object / array / Date / circular.

I have not been able to verify visually, since that needs the full Postgres + Redis + ClickHouse stack running with event data.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added copy functionality for values in the event details modal’s Properties and Information sections.
    • Improved value display and tooltips for dates, objects, and other data types.
    • Added graceful handling for values that cannot be serialized.
    • Values are now consistently formatted for copying and viewing, including ISO-formatted dates and readable object representations.

Long values in the event details popup are truncated with no way to read or
copy the rest. Two gaps:

- The title tooltip was only set for string values, so objects (rendered as
  JSON) and numbers got no tooltip at all.
- The popup's two grids never passed `copyable`, so no copy button rendered.

Adds a shared toStringValue() used for both the tooltip and the clipboard,
replacing the inline stringify in the copy handler. Booleans and 0 now
stringify rather than being dropped, and circular objects degrade to no
tooltip instead of throwing.

Closes Openpanel-dev#381

121-140: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Make the copy button independent from the row action.

Both grids in apps/start/src/modals/event-details.tsx pass copyable with onItemClick at Lines 289 and 314. The row handles Enter and Space at Line 121, but the copy button stops propagation only in its onClick at Line 132. When the copy button has focus, the key event bubbles to the row; the row action runs and preventDefault() can suppress the copy. The button is also a focusable child of role="button", is hidden until hover, and has no explicit accessible name. Keep the copy control outside the row's interactive element, or make the row ignore interactive descendants. Add keydown propagation handling, an accessible name, and focus-visible styles.

45-46: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Guard invalid Date values before ISO conversion.

Date.prototype.toISOString() throws a RangeError for an invalid Date. Since toStringValue() runs during rendering at Line 150 and during copying at Line 134, one invalid date can break both paths. Return undefined when Number.isNaN(value.getTime()), or catch this conversion.

Proposed fix
  if (value instanceof Date) {
+   if (Number.isNaN(value.getTime())) {
+     return undefined;
+   }
    return value.toISOString();
  }

Verify the runtime behavior:


49-54: 🩺 Stability & Availability

Verify circular-object handling at render time.

The try/catch prevents toStringValue() from throwing while building title. The default FieldValue renderer still calls JSON.stringify(value) at Line 252 without a guard. If a circular value reaches KeyValueGrid, rendering still throws before the tooltip can be omitted. If circular values are in scope for this component, use the safe conversion in FieldValue or render a fallback; otherwise document that the guarantee applies only to the helper.

clipboard() calls value.toString() unguarded, so the `?? item.value`
fallback threw on null and undefined rows. Previously those took the
JSON.stringify path (typeof null === 'object') and copied "null".

Compute the string once per row and only render the copy button when
there is something to copy, so the button is never dead and never throws.

Good catch, this was a real regression and it's fixed in 1244bb5.

clipboard() calls value.toString() unguarded, so the ?? item.value fallback threw on nullish rows. Worth noting it was a regression rather than a pre-existing gap: typeof null === 'object', so before this PR null took the JSON.stringify path and copied the string "null".

Rather than guarding at the call site, I compute the string once per row and only render the copy button when there's something to copy — so the button is never dead and never throws:

{copyable && stringValue !== undefined && ( ... clipboard(stringValue) ... )}

That also drops the duplicate toStringValue() call per row.

On the second half of your comment — unserializable objects copying as an arbitrary object string: that path now renders no copy button at all, since toStringValue returns undefined when JSON.stringify throws. Previously it copied "[object Object]", which wasn't useful anyway.
