Force Alfred to Utilize UID for "valid": false autocomplete results

[drgrib]

I have a script filter that provides an initial menu with items that have "valid":false with UIDs that autocomplete to the query for a deeper menu with items that have "valid": true.

 

I've noticed that these UIDs in the first menu are only used for sorting if I change them to "valid":true. But then they don't autocomplete anymore and the workflow exits before going to the second menu. So Alfred is causing a catch 22 for this workflow: either autocomplete for a second menu or get UID sorting based on past answers. Why can't we do both?

They don‘t if you press ↩, because that actions them. But if you ⇥ (or ⇧⇥, depending on your settings) they will.

That depends entirely on how your Workflow is set up. If you chain several Script Filters together, Alfred will remain open as you go.
