Overwriting of automations

Hey,

in the Cloud Version, I very often face the issue, that an automation gets overwritten by another automation, after I change something. This happens very often, when you are working quick and open some automations for just a short moment.

For example, I have an Automation “A” and “B”, I want to change the Automation “B” for some reason, and then I suddenly have listet two Automations “B” “B” and no more “A”.

Of course, after that the hole base does no longer work, because one automation is missing.

There should be at least some kind of warning before an automation gets over written.

I’m not fully understand your issue from the description. Can you paste a screenshot? This can help a lot.

I just created a test base for this, containing three automations, Automation C is a periodic automation:

Automation A - It will change the date for new data sets:

Automation B - once the date is set it will change the value to 5€:

Automation C - This is a periodic automation setting the single select to Ja:

Once they are created and I start to click into the automation and change things or just click into the automation and do not change things, it happens sometimes that one automations gets overwritten.

Now I have two Automation A (both are identical!!), one Automation C and Automation B is gone/overwritten:

New Automation A (1) - It sets the date for new data sets:

New Automation A (2) - also sets the date for new data sets:

New Automation C - sets the value for the single select to Ja:

So this base will no longer change the value to 8€ for the new datasets, as soon as the date is set.

I assume the issue has something to do with the periodic automation function, because it happens as soon as you have them set.

Can you confirm, that this is your main problem, right?

I tried to recreate this problem for about half an hour and the automations were never overwritten or changes, without my doing. Can you reproduce this behaviour at https://cloud.seatable.io?
