Any ideas what might be causing this?
Calibre6/PyQt6 has changed the way icons are stored. They are now stored in a resource file instead of a directory. As a result, Action Chains cannot support both default and custom icons by putting them in the same directory. Only custom icons will be supported for Cablire6. I don't think it is worth the effort to bring back support for calibre default icons.

Calibre's template dialog supports text as well. Simply type whatever text you want (Using Copy To Clipboard template dialog) and it will be copied to the clipboard.

Have a look at Editor Chains and see if it helps. It can be integrated with Action Chains. Note, however, that it is not under active development.
