Shortcuts update an existing alarm instead of creating a new one each time.

At the moment you can only create a new alarm when using Shortcuts, but there is an automation which can trigger when a certain alarm has been stopped or snoozed. It would be nice to update that alarm with Shortcuts, so that the automation could run on not just the same time everyday.


Also if you create an alarm with Shortcuts and you use this shortcut often at some point you'll have a lot of unused alarms. For me I'll be using this Shortcut 5 times a day, that means at the end of the year I'll have 1825 alarms in the Clock app and I don't know what the limit is, but that seems a bit much.


If we could just update the time of an alarm with a specific name, this would solve a lot of problems.

I was looking for Shortcuts feedback/bug report which let me to this page https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209055 and at the bottom it links to here.


I didn't think to send in iPhone feedback, because it doesn't really has something to do with iPhone, more iOS and then a specific app of iOS. When Shortcuts was still Workflow there were dedicated support pages where you could contact the developers directly, but that has been lost. I have a few issues with the Shortcuts app and hopefully the form you've linkt is the correct way to raise these issues.
