Unfortunately, the display, or rather the code is bugged. You will noticed that for longer texts it will not properly adjust the control's height and therefore scrolling vertically will not work properly ([https://feedback.bistudio.com/T141001 Feedback Tracker Ticket]).
<sqf>(call BIS_fnc_displayMission) createDisplay "display3denCopy";</sqf>


However, this can be fixed like so:

uinamespace [[setVariable]] ["display3DENCopy_data", [_header, _someLongText]];
[[private]] _display [[a = b|=]] [[findDisplay]] IDD_3DEN [[createDisplay]] "display3denCopy";


//Get the relevant controls

[[private]] _ctrlEdit [[a = b|=]] _display [[displayCtrl]] 202;
[[private]] _ctrlEditFake [[a = b|=]] _display [[displayCtrl]] 203;


//Adjust the height of the edit control properly
_ctrlEdit [[ctrlSetPositionH]] ([[ctrlTextHeight]] _ctrlEdit [[max]] ([[ctrlPosition]] _ctrlGroup [[a hash b|#]] 3));
_ctrlEditFake [[ctrlSetPositionH]] ([[ctrlTextHeight]] _ctrlEditFake [[max]] ([[ctrlPosition]] _ctrlGroup [[a hash b|#]] 3));
_ctrlEdit [[ctrlCommit]] 0;
_ctrlEditFake [[ctrlCommit]] 0;</code>

(call BIS_fnc_displayMission) createDisplay "display3denCopy";

Adding Custom Text

uiNamespace setVariable ["display3DENCopy_data", ["Text displayed as header", "Text the user can copy and inspect"]];
