Hey, thanks for the report. This issue occurs because there’s a pending terminal task that needs confirmation. In other cases, it should work as expected. We’ll try to fix this.

Thanks. I was trying to create another prompt instead of choosing the options (Skip, Add, Run). In some previous versions it worked fine.
