  I want to create entries using iOS Shortcuts.
  In the Create Entry action, when I tap Tags, I’m able to select a variable. However, after selecting the variable, it is added briefly and then immediately removed.
  When I run the shortcut, the tags are not applied to the created entry.

  What’s strange is that when I added tags using an iPad, they were applied correctly. However, when I tried the same thing on an iPhone, the issue described above occurred.
  I confirmed that the iPhone is running the latest version, but I haven’t been able to check the iPad’s version yet.

  I’d like to know whether this is something I’m doing incorrectly or if it’s a bug.
  For reference, the item I tried to add to Tags was the result of splitting a text by new lines.
  I also confirmed that even plain text cannot be added to the Tags field.

  Hi @peanuthardd3c02cc48c,

  It’d be great to get diagnostics from all devices where you are seeing this issue, and also get a screen recording demonstrating the issue.

  Would you follow the guide here to submit diagnostics and screen recording? https://dayoneapp.com/guides/troubleshooting/day-one-diagnostics/

  Please add #10756641 as the reference in the title.

  We’ll be on the lookout. Thanks!
