Seat Reservations from Zagreb to Split (Croatia)

We want to travel from Zagreb to Split on the 07:35 train on 2nd July. In the Interrail reservation tool it’s saying reservations are required, but it won’t let me make a reservation. I get the same message if I search for the same journey on different days and at different times. Does this mean all the seats are reserved on all the trains?! Or will I be able to reserve seats at Zagreb Station when we arrive a couple of days before? Thanks for your help. Below is the message I’m seeing:Prices unavailableNo price results were found for this connection. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please try searching for another connection or check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation. If no pass holder seats are available anymore you need to buy a separate full fare ticket to board.

Italy to Switzerland Seat Reservations

How can I reserve seats from Milan to Lugano on Sunday 10th July at 11.10 (Eurocity)? I can’t do it on the oebb.at website. There are tickets available at trenitalia.com but how do I make seat reservations only? I can’t see where to put that I have an Interrail global pass.

Do I need to print seat reservations for Italy? Can I make seat reservations at the station?

I’ve got a mobile global pass and want to travel in Italy from Ancona to Bologna on Friday 8th July. From what I’ve read here, I can reserve seats using the oebb.at website. Will this give me an online ticket ie. can I just show the QR code on my phone for the seat reservation? Or do I need to print the QR code to show a physical paper copy? I’m arriving in Ancona the night before I want to travel. Could I simply go to the station to reserve my seat? Or is there a chance the train will be fully-booked if I leave it that late?

Can I travel on a train that requires a seat reservation if I'm told at the station reservations aren't required? Is it possible the info on the app is wrong?

I’ve got an Interrail Global Mobile Pass. I want to travel from Ljubljana to Zagreb at 8.30am. The Interrail app tells me a seat reservation is required. However, when I tried to reserve a seat at Ljubljana station today, the lady told me seat reservations are not required for that journey. I asked if I could reserve a seat anyway, and she said that’s not possible as they don’t do any seat reservations on that train. Will I still be able to connect that journey using the app? Is it possible the information on the app is wrong or out -of-date?

Using a Mobile Pass - QR Code Questions

I’ve got a global mobile pass. Sorry if these are stupid quesitons, but this is my first time using it. When should I connect a journey to my pass? Should I wait until I’m on the train? What happens if I connect a journey before I board and then miss that train or the train is cancelled? Can I just get on the next train to the same destination using the same QR code? If my journey has multiple changes, do I need a QR for each stage? For example, I want to go from Bruges to Berlin, which takes c8h overall and has 2 changes. Do I get one QR code for the whole journey when I board at Bruges, or do I break it down into stages and get a separate QR code for each stage?
