Q: new reminder in automator

Hello. Migrating an Automator service from Mavericks to El Capitan I found a problem that seems a bug.

 

When creating a new Service in Automator, a new Action named "Add new reminder item" can be added (my system is not in english, so maybe the exact words do not match). I need to configure this action without input data and "Show this tasks when executing flow", under Options. With these options, this service can be called from anywhere in the system just pressing a couple of keys, as described elsewhere (http://www.macworld.com/article/2139101/create-a-reminder-on-your-mac-in-an-inst ant.html).

 

But, in El Capitan, when executing this action, an empty window with only two buttons (accept or cancel) appears. And no fields are shown in order to input data for the new reminder (title, date, priority). If pressing Accept, an empty reminder is added, but you have to go to Reminders app in order to complete it.

 

Apple support has reproduced the problem, but they have addressed me to this forum.

 

My system is a brand new MBP 13 retina (early 2015) with os x el capitan 10.11.1, in spanish.

 

Anyone can reproduce this problem? Any solution or workaround?

 

Thanks in advance.
