Jetway menu automatically opened up by GSX when boarding/deboarding?

Following your report, I don't see why you would expect to see another menu about jetways when selecting Boarding, considering you already docked the jetway with the Operate jetways moments before.
I think you would like to have the menus always behave the same, so that would play nice with your automation script, when of course GSX always try to reduce unnecessary menus, like in this case or in other cases, when only one choice is possible ( being the operator or the jetway at some door ), and I understand why it would cause making an automation script very difficult to do, since you would have to work with less information compared to what GSX knows about itself.
And that's why, I said it would be best if you don't try to automate jetways in the first place.

Hmm.... I am not sure if we are on the same page yet :)
When I connected the jetways before with menu item #6, and then I request boarding, there is no menu for jetways selection displayed. This is how it works now and this is fine for me.
The system behaves different if the same sequence is happening on a gate with 2 or 3 jetways: After connecting one of these jetways and then request boarding, the jetway selection menu is displayed.
I am just wondering why the system works different on gates with 1 jetway compared to gates with more than 1 jetway.

And that's how is supposed to be.

And again, that's how is supposed to be.
You said "after connecting ONE of these jetways". That means there might still be other jetways that could connect but you decided not to connect with the operate option so, GSX is correctly giving you another chance to connect the remaining ones with the Boarding option.
If you connect ALL jetways that could connect with "operate", it shouldn't display the jetway selection menu on boarding.

Thanks, Umberto. That explains it. And I justed tested: once both jetways are connected, the jetway selection is skipped when boarding is requested, just as you said.
