Hello,
Thank you for your assistance.
I have the below automation that when option 1 is choosen it works most of the time and all of the time I get “Choose: Error:” as a step in the Trace Timeline. The step Detail says:
Error

Here is the automation and you can see the wanted state 3 comes from option 5
