The solution

I see 2 possible solutions:

• Deduplicate the values while importing the file.
• Add an error while validating the file.

I created a plugin to fix it for now:

<?php

namespace Marissen\MagentoCatalogImportExport\Plugin\Model\Import;

use Magento\CatalogImportExport\Model\Import\Product as Subject;

class Product
{
    public function afterParseMultiselectValues(Subject $subject, array $values): array
    {
        return array_unique($values);
    }
}

I added The solution section to get the discussion going, so we can get to a solution faster.

Hi @tdgroot I think that adding the deduplication of values would be a valid fix in this case.

Actually talking with @pogster we think that maybe showing this error message would be a good option here.

@pogster if you feel like tackling this at some point feel free to assign it to yourself.
