#Template Variables Not Overriding Default Builders?

I normally customize the default seasonal collections. This have typically worked in the past. I set the new variables and that becomes the collection. The defaults are overridden. But I'm having trouble with the Mother's Day Collection. The default is a keyword search that creates a collection full of movies that have nothing to do with Mother's Day. I found some good lists and set them up as follows:

          - list_id: ls036825762
          limit: 200
          - list_id: ls004417458
          limit: 200
          - list_id: ls072551197
          limit: 200```

I've used that same format for several other seasonal collections, and it always worked. I've attached a screenshot from the log. You will see the three lists I added above, but also the default `imdb_search` builder that uses keywords and makes the massive collection not related to Mother's Day also getting run.

Has something changed where that doesn't get overwritten anymore? Or am I doing it wrong somehow even though it's been working for a year or two with other seasonal collections?

adding those lists, will not override the default imdb_search

#

if mothers day used an imdb list, then your lists would overwrite the default list

Ahh, that makes sense. So you have to use the same type of variable to overwrite the default. Thanks for the help!
