I have an action "Show / Choose From List (Configurable)" action with "Retrieve Content Dynamically via Java Script / JSON". The script is like:
async function retrieveJSON() {
let items = [
{
"title": “1111111 | Sandbox | 11111”,
"action": {
"named": "open_aws_bookmark",
"setvariable": {
"name": "custom_aws_sso_link",
"value": "https://myapps.microsoft.com/signin/11111111_AWS_APP"
}
}
},
{
"title": “2222222 | Non-Production | 3216",
"action": {
"named": "open_aws_bookmark",
"setvariable": {
"name": "custom_aws_sso_link",
"value": "https://myapps.microsoft.com/signin/22222222_AWS_APP"
}
}
},
];
return JSON.stringify(items);
}
The named trigger which is executed:

All of this is working fine, however I have automation to detect if specific URL has been opened:

and as you can see in the js, the value for each item in the list is URL is starting exactly with "https://myapps.microsoft.com/signin/".
However it seems that this automation is not triggered (not shown in "Recently used" as well) if I select an item from the list which will trigger the named trigger which is opening the URL 
.
The same automation is working if the URLs are opened from Alfred.
Additionally however I've just noticed something strange - I think that the "BTT_OPENED_URL" variable's value is not correctly shown in the "Variables & Scripting", but otherwise it is working as expected, since I'm using it in a script and also the 1st action (you can see it in the screenshot) in the automation itself is to "Open URL" and the value used is "{BTT_OPENED_URL}"
