Typed string not being entered completely

I have a macro that types out a string + variable to create a clickable URL:

https://www.example.com/order/order_summary.cfm?DCOrderNumber=%SystemClipboard%

Sometimes the string isn't typed completely — some characters are skipped. The link obviously won't work if that's the case.

This just started happening this week. Running a MBP with Sonoma, typing into my CRM via Google Chrome.

Any suggestions on how to fix this are appreciated!

Most likely you are using the option "insert by typing" but if you switch that to "insert by pasting" it will probably be fine.

Web apps sometimes mess with the field when it changes, which can then result in characters being lost if they are typed while the web app is messing with the field.

You can slow down the typing for that action, or you can insert by pasting which is generally better for long chunks of text anyway.
