When I click the note setting in the shortcut, it just pops up a search prompt, but the search doesn’t really find any notes…. There is no option to select the note I specified in the get note action.

If you right-click/long-press on the note field, it should allow you to select the note previously fetched.

Go into the note you want to use, and find the identifier. Then you can paste it into the blank.
