Summary

Created Custom Rules with custom references.
creating documentation in HTML and PDF all good
but if you add -x for an excel sheet, in the excel sheet, the custom references with the same name have repeated as an extra row, even if the custom references is the same name.

Steps to reproduce

create multiple custom rules, within the rules add custom references.
generate guidance with -x
look at the excel document you will see duplicated rows of the custom references.

Operating System version

Big Sur branch - Big Sur Guidance Revision 2

What is the current bug behaviour?

in the excel sheet, the custom references with the same name have repeated as an extra row

What is the expected correct behaviour?

if the custom reference name is the same add one row. only add extra rows if the custom reference name is different
