With current version of PageForms (3f4a5866) with MediaWiki 1.37.0-alpha (ec0be22116) (but also reproductible with PF 5.1 + MW 1.33), when an autoedit should modify the last instance (or adds an instance) of a multi-instance template, it sometimes modify the first instance of the said template. See also relevant doc of this feature.
The exact caracterization could be improved, but here is a reproductible example.
PFtest:
{{PFtemplate
|type=sky
|colorSky=blue
}}
{{PFtemplate
|type=water
|colorWater=azul
}}
{{PFtemplate
|type=wood
|defaultColor=brown
}}Template:PFtemplate:
The {{{type|…}}} is {{#switch:{{{type|}}}
|sky = {{{colorSky|{{{defaultColor|…}}}}}}, which is beautiful
|water = {{{colorWater|{{{defaultColor|…}}}}}}, which is nice
|wood = {{{colorWood|{{{defaultColor|…}}}}}}, which is dark
|#default = {{{defaultColor|…}}}
}}.Form:PFform:
{{{for template|PFtemplate|multiple|add button text=Add a template}}}
* Type : {{{field|type|input type=text}}}

PS: azul is blue in Portuguese, one of the sole words I know in this language thanks to Cesaria Evora in the song Mar azul :)
