I have a CCK content type and it has a bunch of entries in it. When I show it in a view two of the entries are duplicated multiple times. I suspect something is screwed up in the data structure. Experiment number one. There were three copies of one entry so I decide to clone that entry so as to not lose the data and then delete the original. Doing so created three copies called Clone of ... and deleting the original got rid of all three. Next step is create a new entry and copy the fields from the clone into it. When that is submitted, I now have two copies (one less than before). What is going on?
Pathauto is turned on in case that has something to do with the problem. There is only one entry in the alias table.
There's no way to answer this question without knowing every field, filter, sort criteria and argument in your query.
It's really really easy to produce 'dups' in SQL and thus in Views; many things could be doing it. Often it's taxonomy related, but any field that can have multiple values can easily do it if not configured appropriately.
I should amend: It's highly unlikely that the data structures are messed up.
