Expected result

  1. Copy command should work.
  2. [[test note]] should be added to foo property

Actual result

  1. The selected text is not copied to the clipboard.
  2. Pressing Enter while the item is selected from the previous step, results in a foo property with - "[[[[]]" as a value, in opposed to - "[[test note]]"

The steps to reproduce seem incomplete, given the things mentioned in later steps.

It looks to me like the intended steps may be something like:

  1. Create a base that displays list property foo
  2. Click a cell to edit foo for a note
  3. Type [[test note]]
  4. Press CMD+A, then CMD+C (or right-click the selection and choose “Copy”)
  5. Press Enter
  6. Paste [somewhere]
