iOS Automation/Shortcuts

I noticed that Atracker has some start 'x' task show up in the shortcuts app in the automation list, but only some do. When I try to search for others they do not show up.

For example, I can search for my "drive" task and and have shortcuts start that automatically, but when I search for my "workout" task, it is nowhere to be found, and I can't start that automatically. 

How does ATracker decide which tasks show up in automation lists, and how can I access other tasks through automation?

  Thanks for using ATracker!

  I think apple has some hidden restriction on how many shortcut "hints" can be registered by app at once. So when user registers the siri shortcut (ATracker->Settings->Siri shortcut), iOS will register only the top part (maybe 50), and then ignore the rest.

  So if you have more tasks, pelase move the ones you want to have shortcut to the top of the list, and then tap the "Siri shortcut" button in ATracker->Settings. After you confirm the shortcut is registered, you can move it back. 

  I am not sure the limit, as it is not documetned when I googled it last time.

  Hope it helps!
