Pasting Links Doesn’t Always Work

What I did: Copy a link

What happened: When I paste it in Agenda, it pastes nothing

What I expected: To see the pasted link in my notes

Things that might be helpful to know (Agenda version, OS and model, etc): Using on my MBP/Mojave v10.14.6

Adding to this - If I copy the link and paste it in a text editor (Text Edit or Apple Notes) and then copy the link, it works fine. But its 50/50 on copying and pasting links in directly in Agenda.

Another addition - Copying and pasting underlined text (not hyperlinked) in MS Word is also not working. Paste does not do anything.

Can you try Edit > Paste and Match Style? This should convert to plain text.

Where are you copying the link from which is not working? Ie which app?

Hello there

I’m surprised it still doesn’t work. Agenda 23.2 on iPadOS. Sequence:

  • Select a note and through the note menu select “copy as link”
  • Try to paste in another note. Expected to see the link appear so that, when I click it, it navigates to the linked note. Instead, it does nothing. Link doesn’t get pasted, not even as text. Nothing.
  • Now, if I paste in another app (say, Apple Notes), it pastes a URL starting with agenda://. I can now select that, copy it and paste it in an Agenda note, changed its displayed text (through the edit link menu item), and voilà: when I click it, it navigates to the linked note.

So question is: is this by design or am I missing something here?

Thank you !

No, that’s not by design, it should work. Pasting a copied note link into another Agenda note should give you a clickable link that navigates to the original note. Since the agenda:// link is clearly on the clipboard (it pastes fine into Apple Notes), it looks like the paste handling in Agenda on iPadOS is at fault. We’ll take a look. Thanks for the clear steps!
