- Locking the screen when taking a note will cancel the note and delete all contents, use the "SaveAndExitNoteCharacter" before locking the screen
- The timestamp format can be configured in the "QuickNote" task, enter the task, tap on the search icon and search "timestamp", this will lead you to the action where you can edit the timestamp format.
