Redstone repeaters sometimes fail to recognize redstone power being given. It could have dust connected and powered, but not give off a signal like it's supposed to.
If this happens to be a duplicated thread, I'd like to stay updated on the original thread. I'm a map builder, and this is a huge problem for me. I don't want a broken map due to this problem alone.

The issue with repeaters experienced by the reporter might have been the same issue underlying issue covered by MCPE-17304. I could not reproduce in 1.14.30 with dust going into or out of a repeater using the steps detailed in MCPE-48054 for dust-block connections across chunk borders.
