Unable to save Magic Variable while creating Shortcut for photo overlay

I’m trying to create a shortcut for photo overlaying, but it will not allow me save the magic variable! I click on it, then click on the blue bar, then nothing happens, it’s still not saving it. I’ve tried multiple times but it just won’t save. How do I fix this??

Removing Keywords from List in Apple Photos Is it possible to remove keywords from the Apple Photos keyword list? For example, I had a typo when I entered a keyword on a photo, "Lake Superir". I corrected the mistake, first deleting the bad keyword, and inputing the correct one, "Lake Superior". However, every time I have a picture I want to tag "Lake Superior", as I am typing the word, both the correct and incorrect keyword will appear in the list (until, of course, I get to the "o" in the correct keyword). I've searched for the incorrect keyword, however, no photos appear when I input the entire incorrect keyword in the search window. Is there a way to get rid of these misspelled or otherwise unwanted keyword? Mike

Edit Link doesn’t appear in camera app, just markup tool select photograph from library. No “Edit” button appears, just the selection of markup tools one usually gets AFTER selecting the “Edit” button. attempt to change the color of shape created from default grey to red. for two nanoseconds, the color pallet appears and then disappears, not allowing me to change the color. started happening about three weeks ago I’ve already updated my iPhone the same thing happens when the image is selected from the camera app or the photos app. very frustrating. thanks for your time lee

The Pic below is self-explanatory. (Magic Variables are the one which has some inputs from previous workflow action results)

They can be referecend for next actions.
