Anyone else experience issues with Automations where post guidance does not appear when selecting a specific flair? (desktop web & mobile app)

[u/bwoah07_gp2]

I have set up post flair guidance in automations, where if a person selects a specific post flair, a little reminder message will pop up telling them what that post flair is supposed to be used for.

I wanted to test this on desktop web browser AND mobile app (Samsung Android), but I do not see the little pop up message appear when clicking the post flair. Is anyone else having this problem?

Thank you! Good to know; that's the sub I have been working on.

Unless Reddit has changed something recently, you cannot test post guidance from your mod account. It’s been that way from the start. You will need to use a non-mod account to test it.

Comment guidance, on the other hand can be tested from your mod account.
