Hey guys, I'm looking to send a transaction using OP_RETURN. I gave it a shot with Sparrow and Electrum, but I can't seem to find the OP_RETURN option anywhere. I think it might have been there before, but now it feels like it's off the table. Has anyone managed to do this? Thanks a lot, Quorin

The instructions in the link he provided are meant for older versions of Electrum. For the latest version, just enclose the OP_RETURN script inside "script()" followed by the amount. e.g. (based from your screenshot): You can also get this information by clicking the "Pay to" text in the 'Send' tab.
