As you can see the currentText value is empty in result.

Choosing of tag also doesn't work for me.

Hi @sauron918 I faced the same issue as you did, and I found a possible solution for this. I hope you can solve this as well. Below is how to solve this: Try to edit this file ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred/Workflow Data/org.bikenik.anki/header.json with {} (the original content of the file in my computer is []) Then try to use this workflow to add flashcards again, the value should be stored.

I already see curly brackets in the file so I can't change it to "[]". Any other idea what could be the problem? :/

[BOBO-LU]

I changed the [] to {} and it works. Thanks.
