lingojourney 0 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hi, I had a note, the pubic URL worked fine, I duplicated the one and its new public URL does not work. Is this possibly a bug? I look forward to your reply. I'm running the latest version as of 2017-05-09, i.e. 6.5.4.4720 (304720) Thanks in advance. Best, Ben Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted May 10, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hi. The URL of a note is individual to that note. If you created a duplicate then the copy would have a different URL. What happened to the original? If it was moved to a different notebook that would also change its own URL. Link to comment
lingojourney 0 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Thanks @gazumped, to be more precise, let me explain how to reproduce this perceived bug: * create a new note, call this N1, the public link, call this L1, works as expected * duplicate N1, call the new note N2, the public of N2, call this L2, does not work and give message "The URL provided does not correspond to a valid shared note. This may be caused by a typo in the link, or the note owner may have made it private. Can anyone help? Link to comment

Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted May 11, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted May 11, 2017 Just tried this - Created note N1, used copy note URL to get link. Checked that the link works. Duplicated Note. Changed title to N2, used copy note URL to get (different) link. This link doesn't work. Verified that the duplicated note is public. Tried again.. Hmmn. Link to comment
lingojourney 0 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 This is a reproducible bug then Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted May 11, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted May 11, 2017 I poked that around a bit, but it does seem like a genuine gold-plated 100% bug. I created another new note N3 and check that URL worked, which it does. So short term - create new notes, don't use copy or duplicate. (You can still copy the content of an existing note to a new one.) Meantime, I'll link this thread to the release thread of 6.5.4 to get the devs attention in case they don't notice this thread for a while... Link to comment

Was there a sync in there somewhare? You need the sync so Note2 is created as a new note Link to comment

You need the sync so Note2 is created as a new note Yes - I synced to get the new URL for the second note. Followed the same steps with another new note as above, and it works fine; but the orphaned copy is still hidden away somewhere... Link to comment
Ex Employees Austin G 527 Posted May 11, 2017 Ex Employees Share Posted May 11, 2017 @lingojourney Thanks for the report, and @gazumped thanks for reproducing this. I've filed a ticket for this and have added it to the backlog. Thanks again. Link to comment
dconnet 529 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Looks like we duplicated the public link of the note at the same time. A workaround until the fix is released, remove the link and then make it public again. Link to comment
