<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>"Edit when changed" is ignored in "Advanced Mode (Token)" for the Automator module.<br>
When content is saved, the automated field value does not update when it already contains a value even if "Edit when changed" is checked.</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<ol>
<li>Create a text field to a content type.</li>
<li>Enable AI Automator (assumes the module is installed, and provider is being set up)</li>
<li>Set: Advanced Mode (Token)</li>
<li>Check: Edit when changed</li>
<li>Edit prompt to generate a random result</li>
<li>Configure other relevant fields to see immediate results </li>
<li>Save</li>
<li>Create a node with the automated field</li>
<li>Make sure the value is populated</li>
<li>Save node again</li>
<li>The value is the same! But we expected subsequent saving to change the value because the prompt generates a random value and "Edit when changed" is checked.</li>
</ol>
