Multi Copy Items not working

I created a folder rule to copy items.

The problem is that only the top destination is successfully copied to. The bottom two destinations get ignored. I can drag anyone of the three destinations to the top and that will work and the other to get ignored.

Question: how can I get all three destinations to work?

--------

I tried this:

One step
if date added is not in the last two minutes

Copy to folder 1
Copy to folder 2
Copy to folder 3

---------------------

Then I tried this - Three separate steps:

if date added is not in the last 1 minutes
copy to folder 1

if date added is not in the last 2 minutes
copy to folder 2

if date added is not in the last 3 minutes
copy to folder 3

Note that using multiple copies in the same rule will work differently that what you expect. Any actions after a copy will operate on the copy, not the original. It shouldn't matter in this case but something to keep in mind.

The second version won't work unless you put a "Continue" action in each rule. Otherwise, only the first rule will get matched and run.

I suspect there's an error occurring during the subsequent copies in the first version of your rule. Check the logs and see if you can find it there.

THANKS SO MUCH - IT WORKS!!!

I tried: The second version won't work unless you put a "Continue" action in each rule. Otherwise, only the first rule will get matched and run.

Now it all works.

I'll check the logs for issues and let you know if I see anything helpful ...
