When clicking "Create Job" and selecting "Memory Generation" on the web UI, the setting does not persist.

The post to https://immich.mydomain.com/api/jobs with {"name":"memory-create"} is successful, but the subsequent GET does not include an entry for Memory Generation.

Are you sure it hasn't just finished already by the time you make the next request?

[jhadenfeldt]

I'm not 100% sure - how could I check? Shouldn't the job still show up in the Job status list with the other jobs though?

[bo0tzz]

how could I check?

Idk, but this whole thing seems more like an XY problem. What are you actually trying to do/accomplish?

[HeisenbergOnHash]

I'm also having same issue

I would like to see Memories and wasn't seeing any, so I saw that I wasn't having any job for creating memories.
