Before the update, we used to strip out all formatting and only paste plain text. That also made copying from rich sources like websites or formatted docs with links and bold text a chore, having to add markdown and fix messed up pastes.
When you copy from something like Apple Notes, it includes formatting such as links, bold, and italics so you can paste it into another editor without having to fix formatting. This messes up whatever markdown you have in there, because now you’re copying all of those (hidden, extra) things, possibly breaking markdown syntax.
since you’re copying markdown from Apple’s Notes, do this:
- notes -> share -> copy
you’ll copy the note in plain text and avoid extra rich formatting
on Desktop, you can avoid pasting rich formatting with shift+ctrl/cmd+v
I’m sorry if this change is causing inconveniences and/or workflow changes, but reports like yours help us shape a better UX, thank you!
Ahhh thank you very much. @optimism told me to do this but I had a hard time understanding the difference.
I just tested it on my template and all the markdown formatting was intact.

Here is another example of the formatting acting all crazy. I used to make a table every week by copy and pasting from my apple notes and making updates but today I am unsure why the table is all screwed up and I am too lazy to figure it out.
It took me a while to format this table perfectly in markdown and now when I copy and paste this happens.
