Error: Cycle Detected When Writing to Selected Table

Clay S. why am I getting this error on "write to other table" "You cannot write to the selected table because it would create a cycle."

This error occurs due to a constraint in our "write to table" feature. The feature only allows data to be sent in a linear direction (A → B → C), and loops are not possible (A → B → A). To resolve this, you'll need to reconfigure your "write to table" integrations to avoid creating a cycle. If you need to reference data in the opposite direction, consider using alternative actions like "Lookup Multiple Rows in Other Table" or "Lookup Single Row in Other Table". Remember, there's a limit of 10 tables that can be connected via "write to table", including tables across workbooks.
