Inconsistency with FS Predecessors

This might be incredibly simple but I can't seem to find it already answered!

Sometimes when I set a Finish to Start predecessor, the auto-filled "Start Date" is the same date as the predecessor row instead of the following business day. This seems to happen only about half the time. I've attached an example of me having to add in a Lag Day to correct the Start Date. Anyone have an idea as to why this occurs?

Could you test that out with an item with a duration of greater than 0 to see if that helps?

What is the protocol for restoring this information? I've only done this before with the help of a representative and it was…

I have my Smartsheet set to generate a document when a form is filled out. The document is a fillable PDF and when the document generates not all of the answers populate on the generated PDF. I have tried making the PDF again from scratch, I have tried copying and pasting the fields so I know they're the exact same…
