A New Rash of Duplicate files messages

I'm having Duplicate files message every time I open a Genesis 8 or 8.1 Female character. Haven't had this issues forover a year, until today. Doen't matter whether the character was from the Daz store or Renderosity. Happens in Studio 4.20.0.11 Beta, 4.20.0.08 beta or 4.16.0.3 General Release. All 3 versions work fine for me, just the duplicate ID messages. Anyone else? Any thoughts?
TIA.

You have installed some new character for G8F?
Duplicate Files or Duplicate Formulas or Duplicate IDs? In any event, all these errors will generally affect any instance of the figure.
Several, what with th sales. All from established artists whose characters have not produced errors in the past.
Duplicate formulas
Duplicate Formulas usually* means that there are two different characters using the same name. If you open Help>Troubleshooting>View Log File and search for duplicate you should find entries for one of each pair of clashes, once you know the name it may be possible to figure out which the other party is. Both should be repiorted to the store or vendor or maker, in the emantime you can either uninstall one or it is possible to fix the problem with some edits to the .dsf files.
* It is possible for a single character to trigger the issue, but that should be caught by any store testing.
Found the character: Mercy HD for Genesis 8 adn 8.1 Female, SKU 81893. Messages eliminaterd after uninstalling Mercy HD. No other character referenced in Log file. Issue reported.
No, the other party won't be listed - you have to look see which other Mercys you may have.
