The specified variable does not have to be displayed on the screen in order to copy its contents to the clipboard. Furthermore, if the variable is a system or publication variable then it does not even have to be on the same page that contains this action.
If the variable is a page variable, its contents are normally lost when another page is displayed, however if the page variable was initially created with the checkbox Persistent ticked then the contents of the page variable can also be saved to the clipboard.
