After editing Notes without wifi iCloud creates new Notes doc when wifi is rediscovered.

Case:

Notes doc was created on iPhone at home with wifi and devices synced via wifi/iCloud as normal.

Same doc was later edited on iPad without wifi in cafe.

When iPad and iPhone synced via wifi/iCloud later at home iCloud created a new Notes doc on both devices. The newly created Notes doc contained the new edits I did at the cafe on the iPad plus the original. This ok as nothing dangerous has happened. However I didn't create this doc, iCloud did. An entirely new document was created on both devices containing all the original and new content.

So now both devices have the original doc without edits from the cafe plus a new doc with original and new content. Since I didn't create the new doc, iCloud took it upon itself to name the new doc using the first word in the Doc as Notes normally does.

How do I stop iCloud from creating a new doc? I only want to edit the original doc and have iCloud simply sync the edits as it's supposed to do when wifi is re-established. As it is now, every time I edit without wifi iCloud creates a new doc on both devices when both devices rediscover wifi.

Thanks
