This is not a bug. What you’re expecting has not been implemented. Please submit a feature request using the template.

@RasmusM This is an expected behaviour in macOS that is common across other apps, as well. I believe the solution is not a fix in Obsidian, but rather to paste with Cmd-Shift-V (you can also use Paste and Match Style if you’re using the Menu bar or Paste as plain text if using the right-click contextual menu).

It sounds as though you are pasting into the top line of the note, which is actually just the file-name box.

Click below that and paste the text into the actual note and you should be sweet.

I suspect you’re answering something different.

Cmd-Shift-V inside the title of a note still puts all the content into the title.

As I understand it, RasmusM is asking for a way for the first line of a multi-line paste in to be the title (filename) of the note, and the remaining lines to be split into the contents of the note. So again, this should be a feature request. (If you’re already seeing this behaviour, I suspect you’re doing it with a community plugin.)

Yes, you’re right. I addressed the wrong question. Thank you for the clarification.
