Easy Question about Aux copies

I must be missing something real simple, but I can't figure it out.

I just want to make a monthly copy of the primary. I created a aux (selective because it might not always be a full copy), set it to 'Do not automaticly select jobs', and then schedule it with the 'select most recient full backup'. However, it still seems to select multiple backups.

I've tried setting it to 'automaticly select Monthly Fulls' from the copy properties, but it doesn't change anything at all. The only way I can get it to pull only the most recient full backup is to bump the date on 'backups on or after'. I know that's not right because that would require me to change that date each month prior to running the aux copy.

What am I missing?
Thanks for the help!
