Macro ?Create from template? cannot be used when using Microsoft Edge - known bug?
Asked by Sebastian Spitzer:

Unfortunately, the macro "Create from template" cannot be used on a page.

There seems to be a bug here... every time the macro is selected from the suggestion list, nothing happens.

![02 create from template macro - nothing happens when choosing it.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/337799iFF596C654CA7FE14/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "02 create from template macro - nothing happens when choosing it.png")

The problem could be worked around when using the "Firefox" browser. The macro could be selected and configured with the "Firefox" browser.

After using Firefox to insert and configure, the macro still works in Edge too.

**Workaround: The macro could be selected and used in the "Firefox" browser.**

The problem only occurs in the "Edge" browser (here: version 126.0.2592.113 (Official Build) (64-bit).

![05 create from template macro - does not work in current Edge version.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/337802i315EBFF267977DB1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "05 create from template macro - does not work in current Edge version.png")

Is the bug known with the "Edge" browser?

Do you have any extensions on your edge browser?

good tip!

I actually have (only) one extension, namely '**DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials**'.

![Edge Erweiterung - DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/337900i1B7E4A8396451C07/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Edge Erweiterung - DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials.png")

After I deactivated the extension, the macro works again in Edge.

![Test erfolgreich - 'Create from template' macro - without Extension 'DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials'.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/337901i8650400A770281C6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Test erfolgreich - 'Create from template' macro - without Extension 'DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials'.png")

Thank you for your advice/support!!

Best regards,
