I can’t Items to a Collection.  
Just created a new one and can’t add items.  
I tried to add item in the editor itself but it doesn’t let me save a new Item.

It read e-mail already exists

 ![Email already exists](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/2X/1/1d1692264d840af829a3441e4c71e6a314dd3d5a.png)

Hi there, Have you just tried refreshing your browser page? sometimes it fixes many bugs  
if it’s not the problem, can you elaborate?

I’m actually having the same exact issue with a collection right now. Created it this afternoon and it won’t let me add items. When I refresh the browser or log out & in the entire collection is gone.

Tried about 5 times now and keeps happening.

An exact copy of this workflow but with a different collection does work, which makes it extra weird.
