That's why I said "a page", not "the page", though in hindsight that's not very clear. Do you know another, publicly-accessible page on the site that has the same issue?
I figured out that the nickname can be edited from the publicly-accessible tracking page, you would just need a valid tracking number to view and edit the field. I tried to DM you one of mine, but Twitter requires following.

It's possibly, as I suggested, a problem with a validation script running on the site that's choking on or explicitly rejecting the character because you most likely don't want PUA code points in your database.
1I didn't phrase that well; the form accepts the character and displays it properly, even on other web pages, but only if entered by copying and pasting or using the MacOS text replacement.

Got it, thanks. My error was using HTML not BBCode. I like the meta demonstration.

Which browser are you using, and which version? Can you post a URL to a page where the problem occurs?
Safari 11.1.2; build 13605.3.5
The site is located at FedEx Delivery Manager, but you will have to have a FedEx account to access the page.
Sounds silly, but I didn't think to try with another browser. I'll download Firefox and give it a go.

No Alfred snippets work; each produces the same behavior. The field accepted watch from the system text replacement, however, and shows in other areas of the website after entered. It's a PUA Unicode character, so it shouldn't be the problem as long as the field supports Unicode code points, right?

But as noted in README, I didn't make it.
I guess that means we’re both bad at reading to the end hahaha

Right-click on a Snippet Collection and choose Export…
Yikes...I swear I tried that already...?
I only modified a few symbols from the file that is hosted on the Alfred homepage.

If you want help, then please provide what the people who are offering to help you ask for.
It does seems a little aggressive: please see the last sentence of my post, I’m not sure how to do that or I would have done so.
It’s the snippet “Mac Symbols” from the homepage.

Find a workflow with bad icons, it's probably one of mine.
You’re underselling yourself, the ZotHero icon is sublime.

The current editor has so many particularities that MarkdownTransform’s BBCode conversion as a lot of custom functions geared specifically for it. With this editor, you can’t even paste text from outside and expect it to look the same.
I grabbed your workflow, can you explain how to make the inline code block like that?

As a mechanic, I found videos quite helpful, because behaviors are difficult to reproduce sometimes, and seeing or hearing what happened helped me narrow down possible causes. I suppose I thought that demonstrating what happened along with a description of what I was doing would paint a clearer picture than words alone, especially since I don’t know the proper jargon, but now I know.
I was on FedEx in my shipping manager nicknaming a label watch
The snippet is :apple logo: to create the . The field closed without accepting the entry as soon as the suffix was typed. It had no issue with a : by itself or using it in a phrase that had no snippet associated with it e.g. :potatohead:
Using the text replacement within the Keyboard pane in System Preferences, the phrase applelogo worked fine and allowed me to type the full watch phrase and hit ↩ to save.
I even tried removing the colons to use the same language applelogo to expand the snippet, but still exited the field without entering or saving any text. That’s what led me to wonder if it’s due to how Alfred expands text being incompatible with however the field operates.
I’m not sure how to export a snippet, can you explain that? If it’s helpful to pull any of the page elements, I can try to figure that out too. -
Not really sure how to describe this, so I took a screen grab of the occurence, but basically when trying to use an Alfred snippet in a field on a webform, it closed the field without entering the text. I tried a few times, then made a text replacement in the System Preferences that worked as expected. I saved a web archive of the webpage in question, since I couldn’t isolate any action in the console. What’s the best way to share a small (<1MB) video of the behavior?

This may be the greatest find of the year. I don’t know why it never occurred to me to search for such an app; I suppose I hadn’t yet needed to find a solution from hitting critical mass menu bar.
Disregard my previous request: this is the answer to my prayers and the workflow as-is, is perfect for how I will set up the menu bar. I realized that it reciprocates the current setting, so if I have the menu bar off with BT on, then running the workflow pops up a greyed out BT menubar that clears when it’s re-enabled by the workflow. I prefer to leave BT on the majority of the time unless I’m in public, so I like it only appearing when disabled.

I will let you Wiki that if you so choose; ignorance is bliss.

Beautiful. Thank you.
Perhaps building off the previous comment, is it possible to have a branch for a version that does not toggle the menu bar but instead displays whether Bluetooth is enabled or not in the Alfred window subtext? I don’t know enough yet to know if this is possible, but I have so many menu bar icons already it would be nice to be able to keep BT out of it.

As the son of a self-employed graphic designer who tried to train me from birth, I find this quite relatable.

To be honest, I'm more interested in attracting contributors over users.
This is a workflow that I'm almost certainly never, ever going to use myself.
Dude, how are you so awesome? Trying to get Zotero to work better for me is what led me down the rabbit hole to finding Alfred in the first place. I’m ecstatic that there’s some active development on this front, and out of altruistic intentions at that. Python is installed and I’m learning a bit at a time. I hope I can help contribute to this in the future; I’ll certainly be using this workflow until then.

This is very minor, but also maybe very easy to adjust? In the Snippets section, can the ‘add’ and ‘remove’ buttons be oriented with the left side of their respective fields? It’s silly, but I click 'add collection’ all the time meaning to click ‘add snippet’ because it’s visually near to the field, and since we read left to right, I think orienting the GUI that way improves the flow. Plus, if they were both oriented to the left it would be less distance to travel between mouse clicks; microseconds in efficiency!

Can you expand on this Python 2 and 3? I DL'd a trial of CodeRunner yesterday, since Atom doesn’t handle Swift and it has Python 3 as a language. Can I not use that with Alfred? Thanks a ton for the advice. I know it’s not exactly the purview of the forum, but maybe other users will find their way here wanting to foray into programming after getting hooked on Alfred!

I would consider myself a power user, but when it comes to programming about the most I know is basic command line stuff as well as slowly working my way through Apple’s Swift playground. I know there is documentation on the Alfred site about how to create workflows, but it still seems geared towards people who know what they are doing.
I would really like to create a workflow to manage my VPN (NordVPN), among others, but I don’t even know where to begin. Do I need to learn Python? Bash? Keep plugging away with Swift? Something else? Any advice would be appreciated.

Actually, I don't think that any PPI is visible from the public link. Give it a shot.
