Hi, possibly missing something very basic, but I’m trying to paste my A records into Google Domains and it’s returning “Record already in use” despite also saying “No custom resource records set up yet.” Website is tomnoonanmusic.com , screenshot attached below.

Never mind, they were hiding in “synthetic records”. Solved.

Wow Reading this actually helped me find it too!
Something so simple…
Thank you, good sir! I registered for these forums just to mention that this was my problem as well, and upon deleting the Synthetic records, I was able to add my new MX records ツ

Saved my day!
Thank you
I ummm still kind of can’t figure this one out. Can somebody explain a little further?
edit: Wowwzers. Got it. Okay you just add both at once instead of individually.

So do I just delete the synthetic record “Connect to domains widget” and then add them using the custom resource records section? see attached
That’s what I did, and it worked. Delete the “Domain Widget”, under synthetic records and plug in the info into the custom resource records from your hosting tab.
for anyone else still confused as I was, Google Domains does not work like godaddy or any other system where you add multiple A records by hitting the ‘add’ button. You actually have to hit ‘edit’ next to the existing @ A record and then there’s a little plus icon next to it where you can add more records. – such horrible UI - geez Google get your sh*t together

Thank you so much for posting this; it totally fixed my problem. Yes, the UI is terrible, and there is zero support.
