Did something about Automations change recently? No more action choices?

A simple automation I made last year opened an app (MyQ) when I arrived at a location. Worked great and still does.


I wanted to do the same thing only for when leaving a location; however, once I choose "Leave", add the location and then hit "Next", there are no actions to choose from - only "Get started (Create New Shortcut)", My Shortcuts", and "Starter Shortcuts", then a list of many apps. The MyQ app isn't one of them.


Why wouldn't be able to make this automation if I had previously done basically the same thing last year.

And why are there no choices for action, scripting, etc.?

Tap the grey tile "Create New Shortcut", search and add the Open App action and choose your app by tapping the word "App" in the action.
