Is it possible to have an item with a use action (like the control laptop’s “ROBOTCONTROL”) and an auto-transform (like a flashlight)?

Let me just answer my own question real quick.

“use\_action”: [“ROBOTCONTROL”, {  
“type”: “auto\_transform”,  
“msg”: “The phone screen goes blank.”,  
“target”: “smartphone\_off”  
} ]

Odd formating, but it works
