To whom it may concern,
I have had 3 instances in the last week.
With 2 in the last couple of days.

Error:
The copyDown Add-on failed to execute on row 273 of the form response sheet
in  <a
href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/">*
Field Trip Authorization (Responses)</a>. <p>The merged doc for this
row has not been created.  If you want to fix this, head over to the
spreadsheet and copy your formulas into this row before running your
autoCrat merge manually.<p>You you should probably also unset and re-set
your copyDown settings on the form destination sheet to ensure the trigger
is set properly.

Oddly, by the time I looked at the spreadsheet in question, the CopyDown DID COMPLETE.  It was just Autocrat that had an issue.
I did reset the CopyDown options.  Turned on and off a couple of days ago, but this still had an issue this morning.

Is there a larger issue with CopyDown working?
Perhaps a longer wait time for AutoCrat is needed?
Any suggestions?  I did set up the Autocrat to fire off by timer & by form response.

Thank you.

Autocrat is supposed to wait for CopyDown to complete but it fails sometimes.

I prefer using an arrayformula.  See my video on YouTube.

The only time I use CopyDown is if I need the paste value feature or have trouble writing an arrayformula.
