"Object not set to an instance of an object"

i keep getting this error that says "Object not set to an instance of an object" in 2022, and in 2019 it just doesn't show up in the menu, idk what's going on since i'm no unity pro, but it's stopping me from copying components. <img width="1919" height="341" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4d1fee7e-783b-4e1c-b01f-328b92150f6d" />
