Hi,

I have a scheduled job that every month creates a card with a checklist 'X'. I have automation rule that adds 8 items to checklist 'X' whenever it's created. 

I created all this in July. So the first time the card was created, it added the checklist with 8 items - all good. But for August it was 16, in September 24 and in October 32... And for November 40. 

I added a test card and added the checklist manually but it worked fine. 

What's wrong? What should I change so that I will have only 8 intended points added to my checklist in the newly created card?

Hi Jan,

Could you please post a screenshot of the scheduled automation, blurring the names of checklist items and other sensitive information? 

You can copy and paste if you prefer, in this case, replace the names with "1", "2", etc..

I'll be able to analyze and help you more with this information. :)
