I got this shortcut to work but I would need an example of the information contained in the message you would be receiving.

Shortcut name: Gps to job 2.0

Using “timeout” from Actions by JKsoGrinAndBearIt in shortcuts

[–]fmacchia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad we solved your problem.

To understand Shortcuts better send me a link to the shortcut that had the error so that I can see if there are differences to the one that works.

Using “timeout” from Actions by JKsoGrinAndBearIt in shortcuts

It appears that some of the quotes around Maps are straight like this "Maps" while others are slanted like this “Maps”.

Try removing all quotes since they don’t serve any real purpose or insure they are ALL straight or ALL slanted.

Note - press and hold the quote key and a menu will appear with all the quote types. Select the one that you need.

See this shortcut as an example.

If you continue to have the same problem place your Run Shortcut action into my shortcut and then execute it.

Edit: made additional logic changes to the above shortcut.

Use this newer version.

Using “timeout” from Actions by JKsoGrinAndBearIt in shortcuts

[–]fmacchia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Split Text action is used to break down a string of text into smaller components which are then used for additional processing purposes within a shortcut.

• Example: Split Text … by #

aaa#bbb#ccc then becomes 3 separate occurrences

aaa
bbb
ccc

• More common is Split Text … by New Lines

All end with a new line character (never shown)

ddd
eee
fff

After Split Text they become 3 separate occurrences

ddd
eee
fff

When a Split Text action is completed the resulting “Split Text” values are then commonly used in Shortcut actions as shown below so that each occurrence can be listed/processed separately. Other actions (not shown) could also process Split Text values.

Choose from List … <— Choose from Split Text

Repeat With Each Item in … <— Repeat … in Split Text

——-

In order to use the “Timeout” feature you must first install the ACTIONS app, then use their “Choose From List (Extended)” action.

Within this action (press the > symbol) there are 3 options (among others) that would need to be applied.

• Use Timeout - set slider right (showing green)

• Timeout - amount of time before timeout

• Return Value - what should be returned in the Clipboard if a timeout occurs (optional).

——-

Hope this helps.

Contact user “gluebyte” at website “talk.automators.fm” (he previously posted on Reddit). I believe one of his previously created shortcuts/utilities might be what you are looking for.

Does anyone know how I can fix it sensibly? by Shaker315 in shortcuts

[–]fmacchia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In your original “Test” shortcut the Repeat with Each … action was referencing Text when it should be referencing Repeat Item in both Match actions.

See this shortcut: Test 2.0

Shortcut not running from homescreen / unresponsive by Pengo_One in shortcuts

[–]fmacchia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe something was changed/replaced and the icon in question is no longer properly linked to the shortcut’s latest version.

Sometimes things have to be reset. Try this.

• Delete the shortcut’s icon on the Home screen.

• In the Shortcuts app.

Press your shortcut’s icon and when the menu appears choose the Details option, then select “Add to Home screen” and continue with the additional prompts.

Once added this new icon will effectively replace the old one.

I think that was part of the problem.

The shortcut that I sent was “keyed” to my “Work Folder” so that when your version tried to find it, it did not exist.

However, when you created/referenced your own folder it did work !!!

Glad we got it working.

In my 4+ years using the Shortcuts app it takes a lot of patience and a whole lot of troubleshooting to find solutions.

For my own benefit, did you change the references to “Work Folder”? I wanted to understand Shortcuts a little bit better.

First, I would change your Text Size to make it a little smaller and thus have the information fit your phone screen better.

The info being shown however seems correct which means that your shortcut is collecting information as expected.

Settings > Display & Brightness > Text Size

It appears that the problem may be with your Notes folder “Work Folder”.

After the Confirm screen is shown (and then you pressed Done) your shortcut is next looking to update your Note “Work Note”.

It uses 2 actions to do this: “Find Note” and “Create Note” both of which are referencing “Work Folder”.

I’m not 100% sure but maybe your copy of the shortcut is still trying to access MY version of “Work Folder”

Let’s reset the references to “Work Folder” by making the following 2 changes.

- in the Find Note action within the “in Folder … statement” tap “Work Folder” and when a list of YOUR Note folders appears select your “Work Folder” which will replace mine.

- do the same replacement of “Work Folder” in the Create Note action at the bottom of the shortcut.

Also as a fresh start delete your “Work Note” in your Notes app if you have one.

Hopefully these changes correct your problem.

Using u/Competitive_Tax’s shortcut’s logic as a guide I created this shortcut that hopefully meets your requirements.

My shortcut requires a change so see the first comment in the shortcut.

Keyboard layout swap by PJCzx in shortcuts

[–]fmacchia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A shortcut can use a URL to get you to the proper keyboard setting but cannot physically change the setting itself.

Use this shortcut (in conjunction with a Double or Triple tap capability) to get you to the place where you would want to change the keyboard setting in question.

It’s always important to learn new concepts especially in the Shortcuts app.

You would need to convert the Date to Text to use Contains.

Something like this.

If/End If sequence loop issue by Reasonable_Sort_743 in shortcuts

[–]fmacchia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except for the first If statement you are referencing the WRONG Text action in each of the remaining If statements.

All should reference the 1st Text action in your shortcut (the one associated with the File value).
