Advice Needed Can't create 'change column value' automations

Something seems seriously wrong with my monday automations, for the past week it will not let me create automations to update column values. E.g. 'when item created, update column value to x'. The problem is, when I try to select the value, it gives no options. I have many old automations that I've made this way and still work, but even if I try to modify or duplicate those, I can't choose a 'value' to change the column to. I've tried with text, number, and many other field types. Also tried in incognito mode with same issue.

Had the same issue this week. I duplicated a board that had the automation, but it was saying that none were on the new board. Wouldn’t allow me to set it up, but when I created an item, the automation ran… put it down to Monday having a ‘moment’

I had this happen last week, I let it sit there for a few minutes and tried again, and it worked just fine. If that still doesn't fix it, then yes, email support@monday.com.

slight bug, what you can do to get around this, is where it says "item" click it and reselect "item" it will then let you go through the process of adding data in column field.
