Trying to make automation through UI and failing to save it. I finished my simple automation and tapped to “save” button, nothing happened. Tried to escape, but it was not saved in automations.yaml (so the system asked if I want to quite, because it is not saved). Tried it again after rebooting - nothing. What am I doung wrong? maybr there is some shit in my automation, so HA does not even wont to save that? 
Have you manually made edits to the automations.yaml file in the past?
I recall reading an issue where if an automation doesn’t have a unique ID due to a manual entry the editor has an issue saving.

Yeah, I did one automation manually. Can I try random id for manual written one? I will delete it if it will not work and try again editor. Thank you for info
You can add the unique id. Just follow the format of an existing automation. There are no requirements for the unique id other than it cannot already be used.
