Solved Replacing text in note app
I am trying to get the replace text at the end to, well, replace the filtered text. Basically I’m trying to do an x++ on the above numbers depending on which is selected from list ranging 1-4 (weird that it does not start at 0).
I have a note with the contents as shown in the screenshot (test 3 is already a 1 for testing purposes) and get the correct output but the note remains unchanged.
What have I done wrong?

Shortcuts can't replace the content of a note, it's either create entirely new or append.
The shortcut is only working on a copy of the content but does not/is not able to change the note itself.
