Something has changed with the Workflowy/iOS/Safari combo such that I can no longer Share > Copy a URL from Safari and Paste it into Workflowy.

Old behaviour:

• From web page in Safari on iPhone iOS
• Press the Share button on bottom toolbar
• Press Copy (to Copy the current URL)
• Paste the URL into Workflowy on iOS

New behaviour:

• From web page in Safari on iPhone iOS
• Press the Share button on bottom toolbar
• Press Copy (to Copy the current URL)
• Attempt to Paste the URL into Workflowy on iOS, but nothing actually gets pasted

I can paste the URL I copy in this way into other apps, including the Notes app (Apple) and Things (not Apple). It seems to be Workflowy specific. The Paste option appears in Workflowy, but nothing is pasted.

  Please fix this, this bug is very distracting.
  
  I tried it now (3 Dec 2022 on iOS app v.4.0.2211301522) and it pastes the link but if I select the text in workflowy and paste link I expect that link will be applied to my selected text in workflowy creating a hyperlink, instead my text gets replaced with a link that I've copied.
  
  There is another related bug: If copy a link in safari using share dialog, and then paste via universal clipboard into Desktop workflowy app nothing happens.
