Can I assign one teacher to multiple colleges? (Rec Letter)

Hello, I am extremely confused by the CommonApp website as a whole, but this is especially confusing! I know how to assign a teacher to one school for a letter, but I can not figure out how to add them to another. It just tells me I already have added this teacher as an evaluator. Is it only possible for a teacher to write a letter for one school, or am I just missing something? Since I know my wording is a little confusing, here's an example of what I'm asking haha:

If I want Mr. Smith to write me a recommendation letter and I assign him to Yale, can I go and also invite him to be an evaluator for Harvard? Or is this not allowed?

Yes, this is allowed and pretty common! There is no penalty for using the same person for multiple recommendation letters/evaluations. Good luck!
