I am scout master for Troop 10F (Pacific Skyline Council) I am trying to use the Scoutbook plus quick entry, Scout leadership page to update our youth leadership roles. When I hit Save Change after any change, I get the following error “You cannot add the same position that you are expiring on the same day. Please wait 24 hours and add the position again.” I have tried waiting 24 hours and still get the same error . Please help! ---

just make sure a position you end does not have the same date as a started. So if you end a ASPL position on 7/1/26 - you cannot start a new ASPL position on 7/1/26. Start the new one with date 7/2/26. And if it is the same position - why are you even ending it? ---

The positions do not have the same end and start date. The youth are changing positions after an election. There are no positions which are the same for a given youth. For example, I am adding Troop Guide to a youth who did not have a previous position and I am still getting the error. ---

@HilaryBeck give us clear examples - ex. scout 1342332 I am ending SPL date 7/1/26 and adding Guide date 7/1/26. We only need one or 2 to see it. ---

@HilaryBeck are you ending anything for them? do they have another position? ---

> [@HilaryBeck](#): > > 140838106 yeah that makes no sense - you can try an incognito window but I do not think it will help. It works fine for me on scouts like that. What happens if you try to add from the Scout Profile, instead of quick entry? ---

I can do it one by one in each scoutbok profile without getting the error. I wanted to use the quick entry to make the process easier. Can someone report this bug and ask that it get fixed? ---

It is being looked at - it is hard as other users do not see this.
