Parent Order not following J26 value ?

I have an apparent problem with the Parent Order of an Order Configuration and Attached Order.

J26 in the spreadsheet is set to 3
There are 3 Attached Order targets (MIT) and 1 Stop All
Order Entry is for quantity of 3, a Market Buy/Sell
the 3 button is selected in the Order Entry preset.
The Preset is saved.
In the Spreadsheet Study, Maximum Position Allowed is 3

When the trade signal occurs, I get the error:
Trade Order Error: The order quantity for the Parent Order is 1 and this is less than the total order quantity of 3 for the Attached Orders. Adjust the order quantities so the parent is greater or equal to the Attached Orders.

The Trade Window is reset to a quantity of 1

Other Preset Trades with a quantity of 1 trigger fine on the trade signal, of course.

I have read the documentation and don't see an error in the setup for a 3 contract trade.
What am I missing here ?

thank you

OK
I think I got it sorted; I still get the occasional warning on backtest replay but it's working in general.
So we shall see...

This would indicate that you are entering the order quantity on the wrong Sheet in the spreadsheet.

What is happening is the order quantity is being set to 1 on the Trade Window, but that would mean that the order quantity of 3 is not entered on the correct Sheet.
