Resurfaced old version duplicatenote data added but random

Steps to reproduce

I cannot tell you exact steps because the problem is is only intermittent. It is basically the same thing as listed here" duplicates in note

I cannot disble all third part plug-ins and produce the error because I can never tell when it will occur and I use the plugins daily.

In my case I am running Obsidian on 3 Macintosh systems, an iPhone and an iPad. I am using Obsidian sync.

Ocassionally I will be editing a note and I discover that in addition to the most current contents, I will have the entire note from a previous edit time in the past included at the bottom of the existing note.

I cannot always just delete the stuff below the end of the top version because sometimes I don’t figure this out and there is stuff that has to be saved from both versions.

So far I have only had a single extra copy although previous reports of this problem indicated tha tsometimes multiple copies would be in the note.

Expected result

I expect that I will never see old content duplicated into the bottom of an existing note even when the old content is a previous incarnation of the note I am working on.

Actual result

As I said irregular and sporadic duplicated data from an old version of the note inserted int the bottom of the note and no way to cause it to happen regularly that I can find.

Additional information

Unlike some of the previous versions of this issue I do NOT have daily notes opening on startup.

I have updated all my community plug-ins and am running the latest versions

The Daily note problem was handled.

The only case where what you describe can happen is if the same (or similar) part of this note where generated independently on two different devices without a sync in the middle.

For example the note was generated from a template separately in multiple devices.

The note where this just happened again is a very old not, basically a MOC that replicated my old reference file Fo;der names as headers and the documents as links. It’s bee in my vault in one form or another since I started with Obsidian. It was not a generated note from a template.

I typically use my iOS devices and 2 of the 3 macs as read-only and try to limit my editing to one machine. SO not exactly the situation you describe. All 3 macs are on the same wifi netowrk so should be syncing relatively fast.

In my experience, iPhones would resolve Templater syntax when syncing a vault. I am unsure why, as it doesn’t do that on Android devices, but this may also be happening to you.

Not sure I understand how this applies. The notes where i’ve seen it happen were never created using a template so why would templater even be involved?

If when it happens again, make a screenshot of the sync logs of all devices involved and send an email to [email protected]
