Auto assign field based on title of card in trello- missing a step?

[Deborah Brown]

Good Evening, 

I have an automation, where when a card is moved to the "in progress" board, a new card with that same title is created on the "To Do" Board.   I also have automation where when the "Monthly" frequency is selected from the drop-down menu in the  "Custom Fields", the correct dates are generated as well as the checklist is added.  

I cannot find out whether the card automatically adds the correct special field based on the title, or the previous card, or something I am not thinking about.  

Everything is working correctly, except I have to manually select the special field before the next part of the automation works.   

Does anyone have a solution, or can tell me what I am missing

Thank you in advance

Hi @Deborah Brown - can you share more about your automation so we can take a look at why it's not working? If you have a screenshot of the automation that would be helpful.
