My phone recently started preventing me from pasting data from any app to any other app with the “Your organization’s data…” message when I paste. How can I fix this?

Where’d that copy of Outlook (presumably that’s what is generating this error) arrive from?
Are you possibly connected to a corporate or organization’s mail server and internal network via that Outlook client?
(The combination of the presence of that app and your familiarity with this area still gets me leaning toward a configuration issue with a centrally-managed IT service involved.)
If this is your Outlook client purchase and not tied to some organization’s internal mail, check with Microsoft support.
Microsoft Outlook for iOS can be configured to block pasting text to other apps, and that’s the resulting error message when attempting to paste that Outlook data.
This setting is configurable by what Microsoft calls the Intune administrator and an installed setting on your iPhone.
Usual unofficial workaround is to take and use screen shots, until those too are blocked. Or traced back.
Contact whoever is managing your iPhone.
It is a personal phone, and I’ve taken care to avoid profile installation. I would delete a profile if one had been installed. Interestingly, if I go to settings, I don’t have Profiles and Device Management as an option. Have I been hacked or is some app installing a profile and then hiding my ability to remove it?
Thanks for your post! It is a personal phone and there shouldn’t be anyone managing it. I knew about Intune and mobile device management from a previous experience, so that’s the first place I looked but I see no evidence of Intune. I have resorted to taking pictures or laboriously typing URLs.
