<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>An instance of an Automator Chain entity only lives for the duration of the operation, it is deleted as soon as the last step in the chain has been executed. I would like an option to keep them around. Why? Debugging. I'm having trouble understanding if, for example, the second field in the chain is being populated as a result of processing the first field. I currently have no way of seeing this.</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce (required for bugs, but not feature requests)</h4>
<p>Please provide information like AI modules enabled, which AI provider, browser, etc.</p>
<ol>
<li>Create an automator chain</li>
<li>Add "Input Links" field as a Text (plain, long)
</li><li>Add "Actual Link" field as Link, unlimited cardinality,
</li><li>
<ol>
<li>Enable AI Automator = Yes</li>
<li>Choose AI Automator Type = LLM: Link</li>
<li>Automator Input Mode = Base mode</li>
<li>Automator Base Field = Input Links</li>

</p></li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p>I am basing my Automator Chain off of the demo Marcus did here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/NVlrFPdF1jk?t=2477s">https://www.youtube.com/live/NVlrFPdF1jk?t=2477s</a></p>
