Text Replacement stopped working after 12.1 update

I found an answer to the 12.1 or 12.01 or whatever text replacement issue that I upgraded on Nov 12 2018. I think somewhere along the line someone shortened the length of the amount of characters we’re aloud to use. When I went and shortened and in some cases cut my text replacements in half they worked. For example one of my replacements I named ‘zz’= “Hello its Scott from Scooters. On the road but can give you a quick estimate. We are very happy to help😀”. The second part I had to name something different so I named it ‘Zz2’ which says the other half of the original. “Please tell me how many areas you plan on cleaning (bedrooms, hallways, stairs ect,) oh and Whereabouts are you located?” So one ez shortcut became two but works great and I’m back in business. I can text the first shortcut followed by the 2nd all it one text and still send full Text replacement I originally wanted to send. Sooo from the Hello it’s Scott.. to the ...happy to help😄 seems to be just around the max character count for one text replacement. Not sure how many character count that is. I hope apple changes it back but by then I personally wont absolutely need or know if they did. Good luck all business owners especially. Lost some dough myself today. Confidencapple to fix.
