List widget and Survey 123 Select many answer - Duplication

[Le1Hod]

Hello, 

I am using Arcade in Dashboard on a list Widget. I am pulling information from a survey 123. The Surveys first Question, depending on the answer, uncovers a select multiple question ( I have 9 in total) which gives you an array with the selected towns. The problem is when submitter of the survey submits again and selects the same towns . Towns are duplicated. I have a arcade code that will put each select by many into its own field in a featureSet but, still show the duplicates and wont pull the answer from the Field one(first question in survey). Ultimately I just need the count of towns for each select by many choice, to be displayed in the list.

code:

var vportal = Portal('https://www.arcgis.com');
var fs = FeatureSetByPortalItem(
   vportal,
   'Item_ID',
   0,
   ["Field1","Field2","Field3","Field4"],
   false
);
// Create empty array for features
var features = [];
// Loop through each feature in the feature set.
for (var vfeature of fs) {  // Corrected loop
   var split_array = Split(vfeature['Field2'], ',', -1, true);
   var count_arr = Count(split_array);
   // Loop through the split values.
   for (var i = 0; i < count_arr; i++) {
       var exists = false;
       // Check if the feature already exists in the features array.
       for (var existingFeature of features) {  // Corrected loop for checking existing features
           if (existingFeature.attributes['split_choices_Field2'] == Trim(split_array[i])) {
               exists = true;
               break;
           }
       }
       // Add the feature only if it doesn't already exist.
       if (!exists) {
           var feat = {
               'attributes': {
                   'Region': vfeature['Field1'],
                   'split_choices_Field2': Trim(split_array[i]),
                   'northeastern_connecticut_towns': vfeature['Field2']
               }
           };
           Push(features, feat);
       }
   }
}
// Create the dictionary to capture each hazard as separate rows.
var choicesDict = {
   'fields': [
       { 'name': 'Region', 'type': 'esriFieldTypeString' },
       { 'name': 'split_choices_Field2', 'type': 'esriFieldTypeString' }
   ],
   'geometryType': '',
   'features': features
};
// Convert dictionary to FeatureSet.
var fs_dict = FeatureSet(choicesDict.features);
return fs_dict;

 I have also tried : 

var vportal = Portal('https://www.arcgis.com')
var fs = FeatureSetByPortalItem(
    vportal,
    'Item_ID',
    0,
    ["Field1","Field2","Field3","Field4"],
    false
);
//return fs

// Create empty array for features and feat object
var features = [];
var feat;

// Split comma separated hazard types and store in dictionary.
for (var vfeature in fs) {
    var split_array  =  Split(vfeature["Field2"], ',',-1,true)
    var count_arr = Count(split_array)
    for(var i = 0; i < count_arr; i++ ){
        feat = {
            'attributes': {
                'Region':vfeature.Field1,
                'split_choices_Field2': Trim(split_array[i]),
                'towns_Field2':vfeature.Field2
            }
        }
        Push(features, feat);
}}
// Empty dictionary to capture each hazard as separate rows.
var choicesDict = {
    'fields': [
        {'name': 'Region', 'type': 'esriFieldTypeString'},
        { 'name': 'split_choices_Field2', 'type': 'esriFieldTypeString'}],
    'geometryType': '',
    'features': features
};

// Convert dictionary to featureSet.
var fs_dict = FeatureSet(Text(choicesDict));

return fs_dict
