HI @cyruszad I think the problem may arise because the command has not been transformed.
Can you provide more information or context? I can try to fix it.
As mentioned above, this is probably because subsequent commands have different arguments. The "Allow always" conservatively approves only those commands that are identical or substantially similar to the allowed command.
