Automation error.

Options

I have some trouble with an Automation. It has been running great for a few weeks. A couple of days ago, I received a notice

When I change the ‘Modified Date’ column in the destination sheet, Smartsheet adds a new column in the destination sheet called ‘Modified Date’ and my dates column doesn’t fill in. Here are some screen shots. The Automation:

Destination sheet before error:

Destination after changing the title of the Modified Date column:

So, this is fine except for the date in the MDate4 column. If I add a formula to just pull the date from the Modified date to the MDate4, when the automation runs, it puts new lines below the last cell with a formula. If I change it to a column formula, it changes all the dates and those can’t be changed to their original values.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give.

    I would add the MDate4 column into my source sheet with a column formula of =[Modified Date]@row

    When the row gets copied to the destination sheet the column formula will not be copied, just the value (the modified date from source sheet at time of copy).

    Will that work?
