When the Add values to multi-value fields option is selected, duplicates can be added. For example, a "tags" field can end up with the same tag added several times. I think the expectation would be that items will be added only if they are not yet present on the field.

Attached is a patch that prevents adding values to multi-value fields if the value is already present.

One additional note about a scenario in which this is helpful: If you're selecting a set of content, and you want to make sure they all have 3 specific tags.
