Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

  • Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
  • If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
    • If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
  • Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.

app update on mobile device already done ?

Yes, today, v. 33.0.0

Hi,

I am not sure, but this might be because of the note size.

Is your note in question very big/long?

Thanks Tobias,

I wouldn’t say it’s very long or large, at least not for a document. Perhaps it is, as a note is regarded.
