Copy selected using data extractor

Is there a way to use the currently selected data extractor when copying a single selected column?  I know I can use shift + space to select the whole row and the default copy will use the extractor.  But it would be more convenient if that worked on just the selected column in that row.

There's no way to do it from the UI. You can either run a select by querying a column of your interest and then extract data. You can also write your own custom extractor for this purpose

The only problem is that it seems to only use a data extractor if more than one column or row is selected.  If a single one is selected, it just does a copy.

That's correct. At the moment, we are copying a cell when using extractor scripts. There are currently no plans to change this behavior.

I'm not sure we are understanding each other.  I am copying a single cell and I am expecting it to use the extractor, but it is not.

Yes, just to clarify that part. This has been done on purpose due to the UI usage and to avoid possible collisions. As we have not figured out a way around it yet, we don't trigger an extractor for a single cell and apply a regular copy instead.
