Config automation generated errors?

Configuration

I got this message after duplicating some automations:

Logger: homeassistant.components.automation
Source: helpers/entity_platform.py:520 
Integration: Automation (documentation, issues) 
First occurred: 08:34:39 (16 occurrences) 
Last logged: 08:56:47

Platform automation does not generate unique IDs. ID 1663745661645 already exists - ignoring automation.turn_on_living_room_vacuum_boolean

And i noticed when looking for the id, although there was only one, the -id prefaced with another id the looked like a garbled version of it. Should i remove these?

**- &id001** << this one

Yep, delete the random line. Was that created via the Automations GUI or written manually?

Using gui. I guess something got garbled. I think it happened actually when i duplicated it then pressed save before it saved again (not sure i recall how it went but something like that).

Cheers
