Siri (AI enabled) fails to open Shortcut

iOS 27 only: A Shortcut containing an explicit Numbers spreadsheet reference opens the spreadsheet correctly when run manually and works via Siri exactly once. Every subsequent Siri invocation produces “Which Spreadsheet?” with no opportunity to select the spreadsheet. The same Shortcut works repeatedly by manual execution and repeatedly via Siri (voice and manually) on macOS 27. Simple non-Numbers Siri Shortcuts continue to work repeatedly on both platforms. Shortcut name and creation device make no difference.

I had the same issue with Siri AI unable to run my shortcuts. I have just updated to 27.2 and it seems to have fixed this.

Nope, that specific user case I mentioned above, still does not work. Siri (voice activated) has always been able to run shortcuts, but when that shortcut is meant to open a numbers file Siri asks for “which spreadsheet”

this issue occurs on numbers models with multiple sheets and those with only one minimal test sheet.
