Since I can’t simply long press a list and create a duplicate… one of my workarounds for reusing a daily list is to copy that list from a text file and then paste it into the Clear app. This has worked for quite some time until this latest update. I paste the list contents into an empty entry and it populates correctly with each item getting its own entry. Then when I close the app and start it up again, all of the pasted entries have disappeared. This work around is the only reason I can still use the app. Until an easy way is made to simply duplicate a list, which seriously is a blaring oversight, this new update has made this app incompatible with my needs, and I’ve relied on it for over a decade. This app is wonderful because of its simplicity, but it’s becoming buggy and complicated, a clear departure from the original mission statement.

I have the same problem. You can not paste multiple item, only the first one is saved. Here is a video showing the bug :

Yes, this is what I’m seeing too.
