Clip Article to Notes Shortcut creates an empty note

I’ve tried the Clip Article to Notes shortcut on every Apple device (MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad) and it consistently creates an empty note with no content, other than the text I add at the end of executing the shortcut.

Has anyone else had this same problem? And how did you fix the issue?

macOS and iOS Notes copy/paste failing I’ve started seeing this problem in the last few months - where a new copy into the buffer won’t paste into Notes. Just happened for example on my phone, with a link between the News app and Notes. Instead the paste did a large buffer copy from yesterday. Force stopping and restarting the app seems to fix it temporarily- both on iOS and on my 2 different M1max MacBook Pros. all are running the latest updates, none on beta.

Why are my writing tools not functioning in Notes If I select a block of text in Notes and choose any option in writing tools, it just shows a blank box overlay and doesn't do anything. I have tried Safari and it has the same behavior. The logs seem to indicate some Siri and UI error... not sure how to proceed. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Can't copy to clipboard in Notes app It seems that after working in the Notes app for a while, I can't Copy/Cut to the clipboard. What's on the clipboard seems like some arbitrary string (object) from the current note in the app. This is what gets pasted from the clipboard when you do Paste. You could go to a different app (e.g., Reminder) and can copy to the clipboard fine so it is something to do with the Notes app not able to update the clipboard (or more like always updating the clipboard with the some arbitrary string instead of the Copy/Cut string). You could workaround this by opening a note in a separate window (by double clicking it) and Copy/Cut work there. If I quit the Notes app entirely and bring it back up - that works too.
