[Question] Is it possible to clear 'clipboardText' inside the Anki Template JS handlebars?

[aiko-tanaka]

Was trying to find a way to automate having yomichan select between {sentence} and {clipboard-text} where yomichan would prefer {clipboard-text} if it contains something.

{{#*inline "clipboard-text"}}
    {{~#if (hasMedia "clipboardText")}}
    {{#regexReplace "\n(?!$)" "<br>"}}{{#getMedia "clipboardText"}}{{/getMedia}}{{/regexReplace}}
    {{~else~}}
    {{~#if definition.cloze}}{{definition.cloze.sentence}}{{/if~}}
    {{/if~}}
{{/inline}}

I guess it did work with this code. Only problem is everytime I add a new card, the last thing I copied to my clipboard will always be set as the sentence. So I guess one way to fix it would be to have the {{inline}} block clear the clipboard at the end of the code, but I'm not sure if that's possibe. Is it?

Just in case someone else stumbles upon this, the solution is probably similar to what was mentioned in https://github.com/FooSoft/yomichan/issues/2097#issuecomment-1079830052:

{{#*inline "clipboard-text"}}
    {{~#if
      (op
        "&&"
        (hasMedia "clipboardText")
        (op "!==" (getMedia "clipboardText") "")
      )
    }}
        {{#regexReplace "\n(?!$)" "<br>"}}{{#getMedia "clipboardText"}}{{/getMedia}}{{/regexReplace}}
    {{~else~}}
        {{~#if definition.cloze}}{{definition.cloze.sentence}}{{/if~}}
    {{/if~}}
{{/inline}}

(Spacing in {{#if}} for clarity)
