I’m trying to build a pretty basic shortcut and want prompt for what project to put a task in to. First step is to pick the folder, then I’ll prompt for the projects within that folder. I’m getting and error " There was a problem running the shortcut… when I try to find all projects after passing in the selected folder. Wondering if anyone has any ideas?
There is another solution.
This shortcut makes a backup copy of the selected projects in the markdown.
Find Projects
Located in the folder: Ask every time
Choose from: Projects
Find the items: Remaining
Project: The Project
Project: Selected object
Try it, maybe it will help you.

I can’t reproduce your issue. Could you share your shortcut ?
Here is just my simple start, but you can see what I am aiming for I hope? The error happens in the Find All Projects step.

I see the problem. In my case, I clicked “Chosen Item” and dismissed the dialog. After doing that, the Shortcut works. Not sure why that happened. Perhaps, that resets to the correct file type needed there.
Could you share your shortcut that works so I can compare? I can’t get mine to work no matter what I do.
Also, why does mine say “Selected Item” and yours says “Chosen Item”? I’m US English, maybe you are something else?

Ha. I get the same error with yours…
However, changing mine a bit seems to have solved it. Changed the Choose from List to be as shown in the image and it is working now…
Glad you could fix it.
