I've been using Action Chains a lot for the purpose of marking an action done in the metadata after doing it. But I can't achieve this with Modify EPUB, at least not with the accuracy I'd wish, because of the way that it works. The jobs run asynchronously, and you have to click on a prompt at the end in order to replace the EPUB file.

For most of my actions, I'm able to use the "modified by last action or during this chain" scope so that I know I actually did the action that I am checking off. But I can't do that with Modify EPUB, because the chain finishes running before I can accept the modified EPUBs, so they don't show as modified during the chain. I tried using a prompt, but the prompt blocks me from clicking on the button to accept the modified EPUBs, so it's no help.

Does anyone have any ideas for me if there's a way to work around this? Maybe a timer before it checks to see if books are modified? That would only work if I'm paying enough attention to click the button before the timer expires. Assuming I am even understanding how the timer works.
