This is the normal behavior, when the agent runs, it has no knowledge about previously applied configuration.
You need to check the "Enforce this MOTD only" to only have the live you entered in the form in your MOTD (and remove all the rest). It should be clearer in the form.

Changing the visibility to Getting started because motd is level 1 technique.
We thought of renaming: enforce to Append to existing MOTD (disabled by default).
But as the semantic is inverted, it may be complexe to migrate (or need to change name).
Perhaps adding a default to enforce, to?
