View submission: Schedule Posts as AutoModerator

I actually played around with this this morning, and I couldn't find a way for the scheduled automod post to distinguish itself as a mod post - if I tried to do it manually, it would revert to my username instead of u/automoderator. Am I missing a step, or is this not possible?

• *Edit:** I just tried again, and it seems to be working now!

• *Edit 2:** It seems to a clunky process, though:

1. Set up the scheduled post with this function enabled.

2. On the "Scheduled Posts" screen, enable "Distinguish as mod." This reverts the user from u/automod to me.

3. Edit the post and re-enable this feature.

There's got to be a better way to do this...

Hey u/Arbiter82—sorry about that! Should be all fixed up now such that it just works like you'd think it works. Let me know if this continues to give you trouble!

I mean, I'll cut some slack given this is v1. Many of us just wanted the ability before AutoModerator schedule was deprecated. Assume it'll be improved.
