Smartedit content catalog version selector has multiple duplicate entries

Is it possible to remove duplicate entries from the content catalog version selector list ? This is most likely a by-product of our multicountry setup. (screenshot below)

Hi Steve.

Even in a multi-country setup there should not be duplicates.

The catalog version selector is using the PreviewDatapreviewCatalogDropdownPopulator to populate the list of catalog versions.

This populator first uses the SiteService to fetch all the sites, and then for each site it will use the CatalogService to get the content catalogs.

Each content catalog is then displayed in the list as <catalog_name> - <catalog_version>

So somehow either there are duplicate names or the catalogs/sites are somehow returning duplicates from the wcms APIs.

Looking at the network tab and refreshing smartedit can you see the response for /cmswebservices/v1/sites ?

If that looks ok, open the experience selector, and you should see a request in the network for each site, for their content catalogs. Something like cmssmarteditwebservices/v1/sites/electronics-de/contentcatalogs

Try and narrow this down to where the duplicates are coming from. All the catalog names will also be in these responses.

Thanks Brian - we'll revisit this and see if we can identify the issue, appreciate the guidance.
