Before bug reporting, please make sure you have tried the latest (alpha) version of BetterTouchTool and that you have already tried to restart your system :-). If you encounter a crash, please attach a crash log from the macOS Console.app from the "User Diagnostic Reports" section.
Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is. Any bug reports that contain insults against me or my software will be deleted without warning (unfortunately this has become necessary to mention here).
Named Trigger "File or Folder Did Change / Monitor File For Changes" does not seem to be working.
I have two files I'm attempting to keep in sync based on which file was modified most recent. Super simple, if a change is detected, run shell script to compare, copy newest over the oldest. If I click the "Run Action Sequence" button the script runs exactly as expected but any change made to the files directly or inside the folders doesn't trigger the script.
I saw Trigger File Or Folder Did Change / Monitor File For Changes not working - #8 by Andreas_Hegenberg But I have tried what worked for him (file created) and every other option but nothing is triggered unless I manually run the action sequence.
Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):

Additional information (e.g. crash logs, related issues, etc.):
For what it's worth, logs are attached and the files being monitored are an iCloud subfolder of the Shortcuts app and a local directory.
File Paths: "/Users/username/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~is~workflow~my~workflows/Documents/min_browser/read_later_list.txt" ;; "/Users/username/dev/min_fork_project/min_read_later_dashboard/read_later_list.txt"
I've tried with escaped characters, double quotes, single quotes. I feel like I'm missing something or maybe monitoring iCloud files is finicky
