Contacts to Numbers - drag and drop not working

I have to admit that I'm stumped. Dragging and copying/pasting both work on my end.

I'm going to ask the hosts to move this thread to the Numbers Community so that the Numbers Community experts see it. I'm sure they'll be able to help.

There are multiple components to this. It isn't clear where it's breaking.

For example, it isn't clear if Contacts isn't letting you drag the contacts to a different app, or, if Numbers isn't accepting the drop.

In my first try here I just grabbed a contact and dragged, but it selected a range of contacts. In order to initiate a drag, I had to click-and-hold until I got the icon representing a number of contacts:

Once I got that I tried dragging it to the Numbers.app icon, but that didn't work. I was able to drag it into an existing Numbers document. If dragged to a blank area, it created a new table for the contacts, and if dragged to an existing table it creates new rows with the contact data.

You may have run afoul of the ever tightening Privacy & Security controls with each new macOS.

You might want to check Systems Settings.

Search for 'access' and choose 'Allow applications to access Contacts'.

Numbers should be listed there and the switch next to it should be turned on.

(Drag and drop from Contacts is working as expected here in Sequoia 15.1. The first time I tried it I saw a pop-up where I had to give Numbers permission.)

It’s still working on my end with macOS Sequoia 15.1. Try to reboot your Mac. If the issue persists, delete Numbers and download it afresh from the App Store.

If you have any third-party clipboard managers or similar then you could try experimenting by turning them off. Also couldn't hurt to try restarting your Mac again.
