Bug report: Profile files don't preserve custom roles properly if someone credited twice.

Ok, I know this probably won't affect many people but I thought I'd report it anyway, at least to see if it happens with anyone else.

I've just done an audit of a profile of Thunderball, and in it Ian Fleming has two OMB credits.
One for the possessive credit and one for a "based on the original story by" later on.

I was using custom roles to show the difference between the 2 credits, the top one containing "Ian Fleming's" and the other containing "Based on the original story by".

Before I submitted I created a Profile file because I was using group dividers for some custom crew and knew these had to be removed before contributing.

However when I open the Profile file and accept the changes both OMB credits now contain "Based on the original story by" so the file seems to be getting confused if someone is listed twice in a profile with the same standard credit even if the custom roles are different.

Edit: ok, even worse than that, I've now noticed that it's duplicated numerous credits throughout the profile, mainly Sound and Art credits.

don't  forget to lock your crew ( and cast) in the future so any downlaods won't overide your custom roles ..
In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

That'll do the trick, yeah, but we've been promised it would work without having to resort to that...

You mean like this (Arman Matin)





Noticed this with Group Dividers if you have crew with custom roles and someone else adds a divider they are then duplicated with standard profiler credits (Doesn't happen if no custom role)

Isn't this another example why an end divider should have been included. I know there is a rule against that, but I think resolving a bug overrides a rule.

Similar, but in my case there were no dividers. I was using custom roles however.
Originally I had in the profile:

Norman Wanstall    Dubbing Editor
Harry Miller            Dubbing Editor
Bert Ross              Sound Recordist
Maurice Askew        Sound Recordist

But when I updated the profile from my saved profile file I ended up with:

Norman Wanstall    Dubbing Editor
Harry Miller            Dubbing Editor
Bert Ross              Sound Recordist
Maurice Askew        Sound Recordist
Norman Wanstall    Dubbing Editor
Harry Miller            Dubbing Editor
Bert Ross              Sound Recordist
Maurice Askew        Sound Recordist

Same with the Art crew (also custom roles).
