Duplicate skills showing up in debug selection

I'm creating a skill that is similar to Pathfinder's Craft skills. I've intentionally used many of the same Helper and identity tags as Pathfinder. Everything visually works (viewing skills, adding skills) but looping on pick in hero show duplicate records.

Code:

      foreach pick in hero from Skill where "Helper.ExtraSkill"

       debug "Extra: " & eachpick.idstring

       nexteach

This shows:
Extra: skJobacco
Extra: skJobacco
Extra: skJobacco
Extra: skJobatt
Extra: skJobatt
Extra: skJobsmu
Extra: skJobsmu

Why?

Sample skill:

Code:

  <thing

    id="skJobacc"

    name="Job (accountant)"

    compset="Skill"

    isunique="yes"

    uniqueness="useronce"

    description="Description goes here">

    <tag group="DashTacCon" tag="NonCombat"/>

    <tag group="Helper" tag="TrainOnly"/>

    <tag group="Helper" tag="ExtraSkill"/>

    <link linkage="skillabil" thing="attrCha"/>

    </thing>

Compset and Component:

Code:

  <component

    id="Skill"

    name="Skill"

    autocompset="no">

    <linkage linkage="skillabil" optional="no"/>

    <identity group="Skill"/>

    <identity group="SkillAdded"/>

    <eval index="1" phase="Setup" priority="5000"><![CDATA[

      if (tagis[Helper.ExtraSkill] <> 0) then

        if (isuser = 0) then

          if (tagis[thing.useronce] <> 0) then

            perform forward[SkillAdded.?]

            endif

          endif

      else

        perform delete[SkillAdded.?]

        endif

      if (container.ishero <> 0) then

        perform linkage[skillabil].pullidentity[SkillAbil]

        endif

</componet>

  <compset

    id="Skill">

    <compref component="Skill"/>

    <compref component="Derived"/>

    <compref component="Trait"/>

    </compset>

portal code:

Code:

  <portal

    id="baSkills"

    style="tblInvis">

    <table_dynamic

      component="Skill"

      showtemplate="baSklPick"

      showsortset="explicit"

      choosetemplate="SkillThing"

      scrollable="yes">

      <list>thing.user_added | !Helper.ExtraSkill</list>

      <candidate>SkillAdded.?</candidate>

      <headertitle><![CDATA[

        @text = "Skills"

        ]]></headertitle>

      <additem><![CDATA[

        @text = "Add a Skill"

        ]]></additem>

      </table_dynamic>

    </portal>

  <template

    id="baSklPick"

    name="Skill Pick"

    compset="Skill">

...

    </template>

  <template

    id="SkillThing"

    name="Skill Thing"

    compset="Skill"

    marginhorz="3"

    marginvert="5">

...

    </template>

Adding:

Code:

  <compset

    id="Skill"

    forceunique="yes">

products the error Comonent set requires designation of thing as unique.

It doesn't appear to happen in Pathfinder, so I'm wondering what I'm doing differently.

I can answer that one, I think. forceunique requires all items to be designated that way, which would mean any Skill not explicitly set as unique would cause that error.

Possibly relevant

Quote:

Uniqueness: Even if a shadowed or displaced pick is unique, it will not be merged with other picks in the shadow container, even other shadowed or displaced picks. Uniqueness is observed normally in the "owner" container.

Code:

      var s as string

      foreach pick in hero from Skill where "Helper.ExtraSkill"

       s = "Extra: " & eachpick.idstring & "|Shadow " & eachpick.shadowed

       s &= "|Displace " & eachpick.displaced

       if (eachpick.isuser <> 0) then

         s &= "|User"

       else

         s &= "|Bootstrapped"

         endif

       if (eachpick.ispick <> 0) then

         s &= "|Pick"

       else

         s &= "|Thing"

         endif

       if (eachpick.isgizmo <> 0) then

         s &= "|Giz"

         endif

       if (eachpick.autonomous <> 0) then

         s &= "|Anon"

         endif

       if (eachpick.creation <> 0) then

         s &= "|Creation"

         endif

       if (eachpick.isminion <> 0) then

         s &= "|Minion"

         endif

       if (eachpick.ismaster <> 0) then

         s &= "|Master"

         endif

       debug s

Ultimately the problem was fixed by updating bootstrap to exclude auto bootstrapping the job types not always on characters.
