Sending data through Zapier to a single select field

I used Zapier to create a connection between freshbooks and airtable. Every time a student pays their invoice it automatically updates the record in airtable to list them as “paid”.

However the field is a drop down with two options - paid and invoiced.

After I sent data through Airtable the single select field now has paid twice!

What am I doing wrong? “Paid” is spelled exactly the same way in Zapier and Airtable

I had the same problem. Were you able to get an answer here?

Have you tried deleting the original? Or are you saying it creates several of the same option every time someone pays?

It happens the same to me. Every time i send a new record to airtable in the fields that are single select he creates a new option, instead of having one of the two. The options is writting exactly the same. So every time a new record comes in there is a duplicated new option.
