Wait for Press on Stream Deck Button not working as expected

    Hi,

    I'm trying to have a function where I trigger opening a deck, wait for the button press on that deck and automatically go back to the previous deck.

    I've tried using the "Wait For Press on Stream Deck Button." It does go back to previous deck, but it doesn't actually execute the command of the button I press.

    Any help would be appreciated!

      Hi Brian,

      I don't think it's possible to build this in a macro, unfortunately.

      You would need to use the showModal function like here:

      This can be used to display dynamic content as a "modal". After the showModal call finishes, it automatically reverts to where you were before (last displayed deck).

      If you want a simpler solution, instead to each of the macros in your sub deck, add an event.deck.device.goBack(); call (or drag in the "Navigate to Previous Deck" macro from the Pro Tools package to a macro).
