Shortcuts App - Problem With “Create Shortcut” Action in a Shortcut

Kal ~ There isn't a way — actions can only be added manually.

"...if my main shortcut could duplicate and modify an existing shortcut..."

That's not possible either. ...To confirm my responses, consider also posting on this Shortcuts subreddit — it has many more Shortcuts experts than here on ASC.

Kal ~ The following suggestion may or may not be practical, depending on the complexity of the shortcut actions you want to execute...

The basic idea is to create a single 'Master' shortcut which executes actions according to a text list of instructions dynamically placed in this free Data Jar app by your other shortcuts.

For example, a shortcut could dynamically generate this Data Jar list:

Create Reminder

Create Note

...and then run the Master shortcut which always gets that same Data Jar list and, for each item in the list, executes a long series of 'If' actions:

If item = Turn Wi-Fi on, do that.

If item = Create Note, do that.

If item = Send Notification, do that.

If item = Create Reminder, do that.

Etc.
