Repositories listed under the "Recents" section lack selection checkboxes and cannot be selected when using the "Select Multiple" mode in the repository dropdown

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Somewhere else…

Describe the Bug

When enabling “Select Multiple” in the Automations repository dropdown, repositories listed under the “Recents” section lack selection checkboxes and are entirely omitted from the multi-select list below. Because recent items are non-interactive in this state, recently used repositories cannot be checked or selected in multi-select mode, directly blocking the ability to select the two required repositories for this automation without manually searching for them in the main list. Integrating recent repositories into the multi-select list, or rendering checkboxes directly beside “Recents” would resolve this workflow blocker and allow expected multi-repository selection.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce

  • Navigate to Automations in Cursor and open any Automation.
  • Click the repository selector dropdown in the header to open the menu.
  • Observe the repositories listed under the Recents section at the top.
  • Click the Select Multiple button in the dropdown.
  • Attempt to select a repository listed under Recents.

Result:
Repositories under Recents remain plain text items without checkboxes and are omitted from the multi-select list below, forcing users to manually search for or scroll through the general repository list to select them.

Expected Behavior

Clicking “Select Multiple” in the repository dropdown should display checkboxes next to items under “Recents” or populate recent repositories directly into the multi-select list, allowing users to quickly check and select recently used repositories without manually searching for them.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey @Jon_Estep, thanks for the detailed report!

You’re right that in “Select Multiple” mode, the items under Recents aren’t clickable today. That’s a known limitation we’re already tracking, and I’ve added your report to it.

In the meantime, the same repositories are still selectable in the main list below the Recents section: they’re sorted alphabetically there, have working checkboxes, and typing a few characters in the search box is usually the fastest way to find them.

We agree that Recents should be directly selectable in multi-select mode, and your feedback helps prioritize that!

Unfortunately the same repositories I’m seeing only appear under “Recents” and are not selectable in the main list below “Recents”

Thanks for following up, Jon!

Those two entries you see under Recents aren’t plain repository rows: each of those repositories has a saved Environment attached to it (created when an environment setup was saved for that repo), and the picker shows the Environment in place of the repository. Environments can’t currently be picked in “Select Multiple” mode, which is why they stay greyed out and why searching didn’t surface the repositories either.

That’s a known issue on our side and I’ve added your report to the existing tracking for it.

In the meantime, try going go to Dashboard → Cloud Agents → Environments and create a single Environment that contains both repositories. A multi-repo Environment doesn’t replace the individual repository rows, and you can select it directly in the repository dropdown (in regular select mode) to run against both repos at once.
