Description

If the input file processed by the "File key-value present with option" generic method contains several entries for the same key, the output will contain several identical entries with the replacement value.

i.e. if an input sysctl.conf file contained :

vm.swappiness = 30
vm.swappiness = 15

and we use the "File key-value present with option" generic method to set the value to "0", the produced output file will then contain :

vm.swappiness = 0
vm.swappiness = 0

One might expect to obtain a processed file containing a single “vm.swappiness = 0” entry and not a duplicate one.

This report is here for reference and may or may not be considered as a bug.
