Hi there I am working with the suite illustrated in the attached screenshot. The cycle period is one year. I have `max active cycle points = 3` but when I do `cylc insert u-bm835 coupled.20160101T0000Z` nothing happens to the Cylc graph. Any ideas as to why this isn’t working as it normally does for me? Thanks. Jonny ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/cylc1/original/1X/1d6b12e958f9a02b79bb6591efb3cddf7814de99.png) ---

SOLVED! Was a slightly odd one, but I had somehow managed to only include the ‘coupled’ task in the first cycle point! All good now. Cheers Jonny ---
