Ha, no need to say that, it happens to the best of us,

So, that looks like a widget in the portal? I have a hunch it's because you haven't enabled "unique values only" on the definition,
- If I'm wrong and it's a variable, that would be on the "Type Specification" form section of the variable item's definition and it's a tickbox,

Many thanks,
Kind regards
