Disable Copy & Paste on Text Field

I would like to disable Copy and Paste option on Text Field in ThingWorx during Runtime. Is there a way to do this?

What is the use case for this? Personally I'm not well versed, but this article seems to say that potentially it can be done with CSS (the other methods would require a custom widget)

We have a Manual Form where Customer does not want any user to Copy & Paste the Value while filling the Form, I already tried implementing using CSS as it is mentioned in the link you provided but its not working. It works for Label Widget but not for TextField.

I you aren't able to override that behavior with CSS most likely you will need to create a custom widget.
