I am an active user and I've created many macros to speed up my workflows at work over the past few years. These have worked for years without fail, but all of a sudden several of my key ones have stopped working properly. I am still trying to work out where some of them are failing, but I've identified at least one very strange problem today that I hope someone can help with.
For background, one of my macros obtains a list of the active cases I am working on using Shortcuts and sets a variable to the list. After that, many of my macros start by prompting me with a list from this variable for me to choose which case I want to do something on (be it create a new note or something else). The variable I use for this is "ActiveCaseList". However, all of a sudden, every time I try to set this particular variable to something, it always seems to be empty. I attach a screenshot of a simple two step action that forms part of some of the macros. I first use the "Set Variable" action to (try to) set the variable ActiveCaseList to "Case 1, Case 2, Case 3, Case 4, Case 5". I then use the "Display Text" action to try to display the Variable in a window, but the window shows the variable is always empty...
What is bizarre is that if I try to set any other variables, I can do so. Even if I change one letter (say "ActiveBaseList") it works fine (see the second screenshot). Does anyone have any idea what could have caused this problem all of a sudden? Many thanks.
