cannot add people (share) to Notes.app note or folder

In Catalina 10.15, the Notes app has the feature to share notes and folders.


2 weeks ago, I was able to share a note, and in that note I can add others. However, if I try with a different note that has not yet been shared, I get a notice that looks like this:


I have tried both notes and folders, and I get the same message. But the note that is already being shared, I can add another person.


On my iPhone, I cannot add anyone to notes or folders also.


Is there a work around, or is it a glitch that will hopefully be fixed?



MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

Here is a temporary work around.


I used my iPhone to share a folder (add people) to a folder or note. After that on my Mac, when I click the "add people" button, I get the full working options to add other people.


So it seems like initiating sharing on the Mac does not work, but once it is started on iOS, it can then be modified on my Mac.
