When using the flash action, there’s an option to start a task when tapping on the flashed text. If you start a task using the flash action from the UI, the value of %caller1 is ui. If a task is started by tapping the flashed text, shouldn’t the value of %caller1 be something else in the second task?

I don’t see any reference to this situation in the user guide, so I’m not sure what that something else would be, but shouldn’t there be a way of identifying that a task was started via tapping on flashed text?

Here’s an example of a task that starts itself by tapping on flashed text.

Task: Caller Not Changing
Settings: Run Both Together

A1: Flash [
     Text: %caller1
     %caller2
     Long: On
     Tasker Layout: On
     Task: Caller Not Changing
     Continue Task Immediately: On
     Dismiss On Click: On ]

Am I missing something?
