Additional Information
When there are filters set on layers at the web map level, the 'Append all expressions to existing map filter' check box must be checked for the filters to be honored.
There are instances where the same layer is added multiple times (same data source endpoint) to the web map, when the Group Filter widget overrides the web map filters, the data is duplicated or replicated multiple times. Since the filters configured against each listed layer in the web map are 'canceled' by the Group Filter widget, all the features corresponding to the expression from the Group Filter widget are returned.
When the 'Append all expressions to existing map filter' option is enabled, the filters for each layer in the web map are preserved and the Group Filter widget expression is appended to the existing filters and only displays the features that match both the web map and the group filters.
Refer to the following link in Esri Community for a similar workflow and solution: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-web-appbuilder-questions/group-filter-widget-duplicating-records-when/m-p/1106800#M21436.
Workaround
Use layer views with layer definition instead of copies with filters.
