There&#8217;s now an &#8220;Add Music to Up Next&#8221; action and a &#8220;Clear Up Next&#8221; action for automatically adding content to an Apple Music playlist.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s update also includes a long list of bug fixes, which are outlined below:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8211; Get Distance now supports getting the distance from a specified location<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8211; The order of items passed from a Dictionary action to Choose from List is now preserved<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8211; Fixed getting prices for books in Search iTunes Store<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8211; Fixed making archives with special characters in the filename on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/ios-10\/\">iOS 10<\/a>.3 and later<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8211; Fixed an issue where workflow glyphs in the Today Widget may be stretched and cut off<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8211; Fixed an issue where latitude and longitude may be formatted incorrectly in international locales<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8211; Fixed an issue where .wflow files may fail to open on iOS 10.3 and later<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8211; Fixed an issue where improperly formatted URLs from Pinboard could cause Workflow to crash<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8211; Fixed an issue where booleans may not update when their value is changed inside dictionary fields<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8211; Fixed an issue where handing off clipboard content from the Today Widget or Action Extension may throw a &#8220;The file Clipboard could not be opened&#8221; error<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8211; Fixed an issue that could cause Workflow to crash on launch<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&#8211; Other bug fixes and minor additions<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When Apple purchased Workflow, the Workflow team said app integrations and the Gallery would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2017\/03\/22\/apple-acquires-popular-automation-app-workflow\/\">updated<\/a> on a regular basis, but a later report suggested Apple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2017\/04\/13\/workflow-stop-releasing-updates\/\">planned no more updates<\/a>. Based on today&#8217;s update, which adds new features, that report was incorrect.<\/p>\n<p>Though two new actions have been re-introduced, there are still features missing from the Workflow app. Maps actions are restricted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/roundup\/apple-maps\/\">Apple Maps<\/a>, and translating text only works with Microsoft&#8217;s translation services. Other previous app actions, including Uber, Telegram, and LINE, are still unavailable.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.macrumors.com\/threads\/workflow-update-chrome-pocket-up-next.2044824\/\">Discuss this article<\/a> in our forums<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.macrumors.com\/~ff\/MacRumors-All?a=UJO3tYPTNhc:hjh2uZVS7fU:6W8y8wAjSf4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/MacRumors-All?d=6W8y8wAjSf4\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.macrumors.com\/~ff\/MacRumors-All?a=UJO3tYPTNhc:hjh2uZVS7fU:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/MacRumors-All?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/MacRumors-All\/~4\/UJO3tYPTNhc\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"\/> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5817,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[68,69,59,26],"class_list":["post-340396","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","tag-apple","tag-macrumors","tag-media","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/asmawisham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/asmawisham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/asmawisham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/asmawisham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5817"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/asmawisham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340396"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/asmawisham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340396\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/asmawisham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/asmawisham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=340396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/asmawisham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=340396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
