MusicBrainz Date Helper

Is this script broken or am I just too dumb to figure out how it works? It adds these C and R buttons to the date section of recordings but clicking them doesn’t seem to do anything regardless of whether there’s anything in the fields (or anything in my clipboard).

This is the script I’m talking about mb-date-helper/dist/mb-date-helper.user.js at main · LeviOP/mb-date-helper · GitHub

I’ve never used this script, but looking through the code, it looks like the C button copies the date (I presume whatever date is entered in the field to the left) to the clipboard, and the R button copies the date range, that is, both the begin and end dates, to the clipboard. So clicking them won’t do anything visible, but try pasting into a text editor after clicking each button.

Aha, I thought it was possibly doing that but I couldn’t figure out what to then do with the copied text. Turns out you just paste it into the first year box. So yeah, it was just me being dumb! Thanks
