Couldn’t run “Show Results” action through Shortcuts on Apple Watch

Hi,


I have a custom Shortcut that I created and uses an action “Show Results” in order to give a response back if it is executed through Siri. The shortcut works fine on iPhone with or without Siri. On Apple Watch it does not work if I execute it with Siri. If I run it through clicking on it on the Shortcuts app then it works. The error message us:


Sorry something went wrong. Shortcut says “Couldn’t run “Show Results”


The action couldn’t run because the runner quit unexpectedly.”


I already waited couple of OS updates. Did a factory reset on the watch as well but it still crashes.


What could be the problem?


Thanks,

Zsolt

I have resolved the second shortcut.

If the shortcut doesn’t work for you, Contact Apple Support because it should be able on Apple Watch. https://support.apple.com/contact

I figured it out that exactly when does this happen. If I call a shortcut that has a Show Results with the content from Shortcut Input from another shortcut.
