This is a documentation bug really - you can only store binary data in 
the
private key of the clipboard/dragboard (these things only store binary
data internally for all things).

So you need to textEncode/textDecode strings, and arrayEncode/Decode 
arrays
if you want to store either of those things there.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
