Description

If you create a YouTube Thumbnail column and the source video in a URL column is a YouTube Short it will not generate anything. A standard YouTube video url works just fine.

How to replicate

1. Create a URL Column

2. Paste in the url of a YouTube Shorts video

3. No thumbnail is generated.

4. Note that the YouTube Shorts video works fine if you manually create a thumbnail. I know that this was reported in 2022 as neither column type worked with Shorts then, and work arounds were suggested.
