Automation deleting most of the name of a file
Device Online dropbox automation Question or Issue I have set up an automation that first renames and then moves files from a folders subfolder. The renaming is supposed to just add "_note" to the file name. The problem is that in addition to adding _note, it removes most of the file name and all my files get the name "ai_note" instead of the original "something. something_ai" Here is the automation: Here are the results in the other folder: Here is the file history showing that the start of the file name was removed and replaced by just the last word (AI).Stay organized and save time with new folder automation updates

How can I turn off automations on a folder?
I set up my new Folder with automated conversion to MP4 because I thought I would need that format. However, I do not. I have been unable to figure out how to turn it off for that Folder. on my PC--I set it up on my iPhone originally. When I go to Settings and Automations on the right side of my PC and Delete the conversion step, I get the attached screen, which does not allow me to Save the change. So I must be doing something wrong.
