I have a predefined list of “Subscriptions” that users can choose from. After selecting a Subscription, the user sets a “duration”, and the system calculates the “total final price”.

However, every time I update the “UserSubscription” object (e.g., when setting duration or total price), Triggre “creates a new, empty Subscription record”, even though the Subscription was already selected and linked.

I even tried:

- Performing a “Lookup for the Subscription” right before Update.
- Assigning a “static value” instead of a dynamic one.

But Triggre still creates a new Subscription instead of keeping the existing one.

“Expected behavior:”  
Updating fields in UserSubscription (like duration or price) should not create a new Subscription record if one is already linked.

Any suggestions or insights on why this happens?

Starting from scratch has solved the problem.
