Update a multiple select field using Airtable API

[cori_parrish1]

i have a zap with a Find Record step in Airtable. the step is set up to create the record if one is not found. for creating the record, i have text in a multi-select field that corresponds to one of the multi-select field options. however, when the zap actually creates the record, it adds both that option as well as a new blank option. i have double checked to make sure i don't have spaces before or after the option i entered. any ideas about how to prevent this from happening? thanks!!

Could you provide screenshots of the Zap setup and the table with a record with both the option as well as the blank option?  That'll allow me to attempt to replicate what you've done to try to identify the cause!

thanks so much for the reply! it looks like it stopped happening, so i don't know if one of the things i tried worked or there was some weird backend glitch that got resolved. weird! but thank you so much for trying to help me!
