Cannot Paste into Notion - (NOT an Ctrl+Shift+V Problem)
I am using Notion through Mozilla Firefox on Linux Mint. I cannot get lists to paste into my database. Here is what I have tried:
-
Ctrl+V and Ctrl+Shift+V
-
Ensuring that the cell is blue (selected/highlighted) and also ensuring the whole line is blue/selected.
-
I have tried in windows, and in linux, on edge and firefox.
-
I have tried in different databases and different Workbooks or whatever they are called in Notion. It doesn't work no matter what database I am using.
-
I have tried restarting my computer
-
I have tried disabling blockers/VPN and using my phone to hotspot
-
I have tried copying a list from an existing Notion database into another one
-
I have tried copying from Word, Excel, Libre Office apps, etc.
-
I have tried the Desktop app in windows.
I can get the text to paste into a cell (so, the entire list is in one cell). Therefore, I know that Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V are actually working.
Pleas help! I have so so so many lists to move into Notion and I cannot type them all by hand. Importing sucks and never works right.
