移动行自动化不工作(额外的移动rows not part of automation)

Hoping for help with the simple "move row" automation. I am attempting to move rows from Master Sheet to Sheet A. I have selected extremely simple criteria (see images)

What is happening instead is random rows are moving with the automation. My criteria to move is drop down menu option = DROPPED. But what is happening is some rows labeled DROPPED, YES, and NO are moving - but only some rows move, not all of them!

When I make copies of the sheets, the same automation failure occurs. When I change the criteria for moving rows (i.e. I pick a different column criteria), the same automation fails. When I remove sharing or add sharing for all the same recipients, the same automation fails.

I am truly stumped and have never had move row automations fail repeatedly like this. I wish I could redo the sheet, but it's 500 rows of data, all with attachments, and the data is available to critical stakeholders (aka I cannot take the sheet offline). Help!

Images:

Step 1a = the move row automation

Step 1b = the move row automation with my criteria selected (DROPPED)

Step 2 = the resulting, failed automation - you can see rows with DROPPED, NO, and YES all moved regardless of the automation criteria.

    Sometimes putting a filter condition in to only include the dropped rows will fix it. Don't know why that happens but it might be worth a try?

    Hi Tim, unfortunately the filtering option only works initially. Once I remove the filtered condition, the incorrect rows move via the automation. I've never had a move rows automation fail repeatedly like this before...!

Ashley, you have perplexed me completely! I have no idea how that happened!<\/p>

Attempt two: can you update your trigger into \"When Rows Are Changed\"<\/p>

\n
\n \n \"image.png\"<\/img><\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Then, delete all of these erroneous rows and hit save.<\/p>

Finally, add \"No Show\" into like three rows. Save your sheet, and reload (automation takes a second to run completely). <\/p>

Is your \"Attendance\" column set up as a dropdown or as a text?<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":112207,"type":"question","name":"access to sheet","excerpt":"I want specific fields but I don't want a link to the sheet....
