shortcut “Go to Home Screen”

I'm suspecting that there is something wrong in the logic of the "If" action as you coded it.

Could you post a screen shot of that part of your shortcut (or even the entire shortcut) so that we can take a look?

Otherwise try some debugging by placing the "Go to Home Screen" outside the "If" action to confirm that it works (it works on my end using iOS 18.2). Try also to place some "Show Alert" actions in both branches of the "If" action to see which one is executed. you'll probably find the the condition in the "If" statement is not exactly what you think it should do.

Thanks for the screenshot and the notes.

What you attempted will not work because the variable "File Path" is returning an actual character value such as "iCloud Drive > a Folder > a File", not the status of whether a file is open.

You won't be able to achieve what you seek as there is no way to test you tapped the "Done" button when the file is displayed. The status of the Files app (whether a file is open, for instance) is simply not available in Shortcuts.
