Well a low-tech solution is to create a checkbox field that is not visible really on any forms called [record created by automation]
Then said your automation to only trigger when that check box field is not checked.
But when the automation does run when a record is that it manually and creates the record then it would checkbox that field so that it would not self trigger.

Subject: Actions/Automations: How do I create a record in the same table as the trigger record creation?
I need to create a new record when another record is manually created. The trigger record and new record are in the same table, so Actions won't allow it since it's adding a new record. When I attempt to use Automations to accomplish this, it goes into an endless record creation loop. Is there a way to automate this without creating endless records?
Thanks!
