"Record already in use" when trying to add A record to custom Firebase site

Question

I'm currently connecting a custom site to Firebase hosting.

Firebase has given me the following error:

We expected these A records
    Host: my.app
    Values:
        151.xxx.1.xxx
        151.xxx.85.xxx
We found these A records
    Host: my.app
    Values:
        151.xxx.1.xxx

Add these A records to your domain by visiting your DNS provider or registrar. 

Your site will show a security certificate warning for a few hours, until the certificate has been provisioned.

Record type Host    Value
A
my.app 
151.xxx.1.xxx
A
my.app 
151.xxx.85.xxx

I've already added the first A record in my Google Domains backend (151.xxx.1.xxx), but when I try to add the second (151.xxx.85.xxx) I get this error: Record already in use.

I'm getting this error because the host value is the exact same (@ or my.app).

How can I fix this?

@Zorgan

Try clicking edit button, then click the + sign next to the input field

check the attached image. Hope that helps.

update: oh boy they're sunsetting their service, moving the assets to Squarespace :(

I never noticed that little `+` beside the input field. Thank you very much! – Corin Jun 02 '21 at 16:21
