WTH - Run one off automations

Why can’t we run multiple actions in the developer tools actions section? Need the ability to trigger one off automations or scripts.

What would you use this for?

The grand vision is to be able to hot load automations and script into home assistant’s runtime without having to write and commit an automation into a file and then reload etc etc.

I have always imagined an use case where I tell the voice assistant to let’s say “turn off the heater when I exit the house”, I would only want this thing to run only once when that state was achieved after I have uttered these words but not every single time this happens, there is no way currently to achieve this. Right now I have to open the dashboard and do it or write the automation and delete it later on.

Atleast having an action called ‘automation.load’ and ‘automation.delete’ actions would be enough to get this workflow to work for the time being
