Hi, I stuck too long for this step! I don’t know what’s wrong - I’m getting “You should not modify your existing elements.”

function addEntry() {
  const targetInputContainer = document.querySelector(`#${entryDropdown.value} .input-container`);
  const entryNumber = targetInputContainer.querySelectorAll('input[type="text"]').length;
  const HTMLString = `
  <label for="${entryDropdown.value}-${entryNumber}-name">Entry ${entryNumber} Name</label>
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name" id="${entryDropdown.value}-${entryNumber}-name"/>
  <label for="${entryDropdown.value}-${entryNumber}-calories">Entry ${entryNumber} Calories</label> `;
}

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

Welcome to the forum @TomasJ

Here is a comparison of the original code and your code.

The code in blue is the original code, the code in red is your code.
The code in magenta is the overlap.

It looks like you modified the input element, which the instructions did not ask you to do. Please reset the step to restore the seed code and try again.

Happy coding
