    Final attempt at a sensible discussion on here...

    Over the weekend I updated my ipad (9th gen) to ipadOS 18 from 17 and I now notice a custom shortcut isn't working properly anymore. Basically, it creates a new note with today's date as a title and throws up two dialogue boxes for a note description and a set of tags. Everything behaves as
    before except the tags are ignored.

    I have very little experience of Shortcuts and this is pretty much my first one. Any ideas on how to debug?

    FWIW, I posted 7-10 days ago about a shortcut problem I too was
    experiencing. You're not the only one. I can't provide an answer your
    to your issue, but in my case it used to go right to the location the
    shortcut was made for, now it shows the steps on screen as it does them
    and is slower. Something has changed that's for sure.

    Thanks for the response.

    Did you also upgrade to 18 recently?

    Yep, that's when it changed behavior on how they work. Right after the
    update to 18.

    OK. That's consistent, then.

    I am going to try two things.
    First, I'm going to use this supposed new feature of duplicating the
    shortcut. I don't recall if you could do that before or not. But I'll
    see if the duplicate works the same.
    If that doesn't work, I'll try creating a new shortcut that does the
    same thing and see if it works like they used to.

    Not high on the list of things to do since mine still work, but when I
    get the chance I'll give it a try.

    Tried this, but still the same

    I found this troubleshooting guide. It's not relevant to my case, but may
    be useful for you: https://www.fonetool.com/phone-backup/shortcuts-not-working-ios-18-9270-rc.html

    Thanks. Nothing helped. I didn't try the uninstall and reinstall of
    the app. Probably try that later.

    A link to the shortcut we can examine would be a good start.

    How do I do that?

    Using one of these methods:
