Changing title of shared notes

Hi everyone,


I've seen other questions about changing the title of notes. I thought I'd share an anomoly.


One thing we have noticed is that if you share a note with someone else, and you then want to change the title of the note in your notes list, you won't be able to do it.


For instance, if you have a note titled 'Holiday' which you have shared, and you change the first line of the note to 'Holidays 2022', then if you go into the note, you will see the revised first line, but the title of the note in your notes list will remain as Holiday.


The only way to resolve this is to unshare the note, change the title, make sure the revised title shows in your notes list, then reshare the note again.


It seems to be a quirk when sharing notes.


Hope this helps.
