Obsidian Sync - items missing or added multiple times

Hello!

I’m pretty new to using Obsidian, I use the service Obsidian sync and it works well, but recently I have had some issues when adding an item to a long list, in this case a “watch list” and then when I open the same list on another device, the added item might be missing half of the name or it might have been added twice.

Is there a reason for this behavior? Am I doing something wrong?

I use my iPhone 16 Pro and my Macbook Pro m4.

Can you paste your “Show debug info” here? Run that command in Obsidian.

Also where are you storing the vault? Make sure you are not storing the vault in iCloud or any other extra sync tool. Doubling up sync tools can cause issues.

Also there is a bug thread with similar things happening. I haven’t read the whole thread, but please take a look: Obsidian Sync incorrectly duplicates sections of files

The missing text may be caused by closing Obsidian too quickly after making a change (Sync only operates when Obsidian is open). Duplicated text is probably caused by the bug that rigmarole linked to.
