#Automation aborts if 1 step fails

I don't know what is going on with my Zigbee network, but that's another matter.

The issue is when 1 step fails (such as light turn on) the entire automation aborts instead of continuing.

How can I configure it to not do this and continue with the other steps?

Is there a user friendly way to do this, or do I seriously need to edit every action of every automation in YAML and loose the GUI editing facility?

Not that I know of... but it should only be needed infrequently. I think I have a total of 4 actions that I use it in. If you have actions failing so often that you need to use it in every action then you have a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.

... loose the GUI editing facility?

You don't lose GUI editing... you just need to flip the action into YAML mode in the GUI editor to append the continue_on_error.

Would be still nice that it is possible to edit this in UI, as it's just some checkbox. It's even visualized in UI when it's first done in YAML. And secondly, I would expect that this is true by default.

Automation network which is operated wirelessly can fail at any point. Always some sensor is not available and fails some random automation when you are not expecting.
