Additional Information

This is being marked as designed. If you look at the code carefully, when calling m.addDataFromPath WITHIN addLayerToGroup, it is doing two things: First, adding a layer to the map AND also adding a layer to the group. The work around is to either add a layer to the map and then use MOVELAYER or reference a layer file. See code sample below#AddLayerToGroupm.addLayerToGroup(grpLyr, lyrFile, "TOP") #THIS DOES NOT DUPLICATEm.addLayerToGroup(grpLyr, m.addDataFromPath(FC), "TOP") #THIS DOES
