Second TXT record is already in use

[katyjmt]

Hello! I'm trying to add TXT records to my DNS records on Google Domains and it is saying the second record is already in use. What I added was as follows:

1. Name = '_acme-challenge.littleonejournal.com', Type = TXT, TTL = 1h, Data = "ZkMbfwS2DQ9diCcDANaOn0_2M87bsiC6LO9nXbilZVU"

2. Name = '_acme-challenge.littleonejournal.com', Type = TXT, TTL = 1h, Data = "lENQSFRsQrfiLA5A3HfdR7aXqqUv6kfG58AljrlT0hs"

I followed the steps in this AWS tutorial for further context: Tutorial: Using Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates with your WordPress instance in Amazon Lightsail | Lightsail Documentation

Thanks for your help!

My domain is: littleonejournal.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot -d $DOMAIN -d $WILDCARD --manual --preferred-challenges dns certonly

It produced this output:

Please deploy a DNS TXT record under the name
_acme-challenge.littleonejournal.com with the following value:

ZkMbfwS2DQ9diCcDANaOn0_2M87bsiC6LO9nXbilZVU

Before continuing, verify the record is deployed.

My web server is (include version): AWS Lightsail

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Linux / Unix (Not sure how to check version, I'm new to this!)

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Google Domains

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): Yes

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): I'm not sure

I think on Google Domains you need to click a little + sign next to the existing TXT record so you can add another value to the same record, rather than adding a whole new record. The various DNS control panels vary a lot on how to do that.

We are requesting a cert for littleonejournal.com and for *.littleonejournal.com it's a quirk of ACME that validating both needs you to update the same _acme-challenge record at the same time.
