I get an error saving a new React App in ThingSpeak.

I am trying to create a second React App in ThingSpeak, and when I try to save it I get the following error message:

"You have a React with similar Test Frequency, Action, and Option Settings. Delete that React to save this one."

The second React I am creating has the same Test Frequency (On Data Insertion).

It has a different Action ( both have Matlab Analysis, but different code to execute).

It has a different Condition (same channel but different field and different logical test).

It has the same Option (run action each time condition is met).

Why can't I create a React with different logical test on a different field and different code to execute? Is there any way around this?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Gary,

How are you?

I'm having the same problem. Did you find any solution?

Hi Gary,

I understand that you are getting an error when the new "React" has similar Test Frequency, Actions and Options as an existing React. This is a purposeful limitation in place to prevent cases where MATLAB code is run infinitely and because it is a resource intensive operation.

To resolve this error you should choose different setting for Test Frequency, Actions and Options for different "React". And a recommended workflow for this is to use a single React and script rather than multiple React and scripts. You can create a single script and make call to multiple scripts from that script for the different processes.

This limitation is also listed in the MathWorks documentation for "React" :

Hope it helps!
