Macrodroid deleted my macro and action block

After crashing, it deleted both, and after I tapped last opened macro, it said "macro unavailable" or smth llike that. Is it possible to restore this action block?

I'm already rebiuld it, but as it was new (created 30-40 minutes before that crash), and auto backups were created once or twice a day, it was impossible to restore that action block and macro :឵/ Anyway fortunately it was just test macro and small action block

I just save macros whenever i have edited them. Auto backups don't "cut the mustard".

That way, whenever macrodroid crashes (which is a few times per day presently for me), i can just restore any recently edited macro/s.

To save a macro, i use Share .. (file manager), keeping them all in a "MacroDroid" folder, which is a sub-folder of my "Backup" folder.

There's an action to export macros. You can make your own backup solution by using the UI click trigger.
Trigger: UI click (save)
Actions: export macros
Constraint>MacroDroid in foreground

Where is that? I can't find it.
Do you mean selecting MacroDroid under Applications, in Trigger: UI Click trigger?

Or do you mean using Set Variable: [fg_app_name], and using that in If clause?

It's exporting all macros, so in my case (I have ±300 macros) It's not the best idea (because memory). And also I don't think its a good idea to restore all macros because of one as it may broke some links/attachments
