Strange prompt when move row to another sheet- "this sheet contains columns with the same name..."
I created a blank sheet with nothing on it and didn't change column names or anything. I then made a new workflow in another sheet to immediately move a row when a checkbox gets checked. I did this to test it out, and got this prompt. I pressed OK and undid the checkbox and then saved, but the row still got moved over.
The workflow worked. But should I be concerned by what the prompt says? How can there be columns with the same name since they don't allow for that anyway? I have too many columns in my source sheet, there's no way for me to check that their names are the same. What did Smartsheet "modify?"

Clever. But no, the log didn't show anything different. I guess that's good. But it's still disconcerting to get this message.

I see what the modification was. The new column I had made to move the row over, got duplicated. It was a checkbox called Archive, and now I see an "Archive2" at the very end of the sheet.

Excellent!
Glad you figured it out!
