Option to keep retain Automator Chain entities
>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #3541547. --> Reported by: [capellic](https://www.drupal.org/user/192467) Related to !851 >>> <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> <li>Automator Prompt = Based on the context text return all links listed once. <p>Context:<br> {{ raw_context }} </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> <h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> <p>Provide of retaining these entities so that a View can be built to look at them.</p> <h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3> <h3>Optional: Other details as applicable (e.g., User interface changes, API changes, Data model changes)</h3>
