Hello! I have a document set up that an emoji triggers an action item. These action items then get logged to a larger list. However, if you do two action items at once and edit both of them, they seem to only record one of the action items twice. I have attached two photos of what this looks like on my end. ![example 2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/7/c/7c998cb549153bdb9f6d3dfc54d782c4e795c1a0.png) ![example 1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/9/d/9d4131c5c78ce222717578e5336d664debaeb044.png) In this, I had 🚩 testing 1 and 🚩 testing 2. I went to edit both and now it should show as just 🚩 testin and 🚩 testing, but as you can see it just has recorded 🚩 testing two times. It does not record the testin action item. Does anyone know how to fix this? ---

Hi Lauren, could you share a sample doc? ---

I think I understand! You have a doc that you’re using to take meeting notes. You want to flag action items in those meeting notes with the 🚩 emoji so that you can extract them to an **Action Items** table. _very cool!_ However, sometimes you go back and edit your notes. For example here I might have taken the notes: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/d/9/d95bb15bf2bea04c6a015a9b635f09756a55369e.png) And I want to have both “Eat breakfast” and “Make Coda friends” extracted to the **Action Items** table. Sure enough, when I hit the Log Actions button it works fine: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/4/2/42d354e88497752699d9ede9145f7dd935f242bf.png) But now I want to edit the action item: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/0/7/07c9320a5dcd1f35861cb2b3e5e111a0dbf6a873.png) But now when I hit Log Action it creates a new row instead of editing the original one: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/4/2/42512c11c2d3e471154ec5dab9f8bc1e14fde9d3.png) Am I understanding the issue correctly? ---
