Cite function does not seem to work with very long Notes

This morning I tried to use the Shift+Click default Cite functionality on a very (very) long Note. Click the button, progress spinner activates, ~5-8 seconds later spinner stops and there is nothing on the clipboard. Works fine for short notes.

    I finally figured out what was going on here. My default template had gotten corrupted. There was an extra character causing a syntax error, but when I used the template, no error would be shown.

    As of today, the custom copy/paste option for Cite is not working. The little progress wheel spins and nothing…

    How long are we talking about here?

    I tried it with a very very long note too (64k - https://www.charactercountonline.com/) and it worked fine.

    I suspect maybe some weird character getting in the way.

    If you press the cite button on that note while having the console open what does it say?

    1. right click on page and then “inspect”

    2. Tab to “console

    3. Clear the console (cmd+k on mac or via UI)

    4. Execute the CITE function

    5. Make a screenshot

    6. append here

    7. thanks!
