MacOS Tahoe 26 & Automator "Watch Me Do"

I have an automator "watch me do" workflow for repetitive mouse clicks that was working fine in Sequoia, but I upgraded to Tahoe/26 this afternoon and the mouse clicks aren't working. The pointer moves to the right spots, but the "clicks" don't trigger application action.


I'm guessing this is due to a setting. I've checked the obvious Privacy & Security -> Accessibility, both AEServer and Automator are present and enabled.


Any other ideas?


Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 26.0

You can try deleting the workflow and add it back in to compare your results.
