There are a couple of good answers here for deduping a multivalue field in a search, but how can I dedupe a multivalue field with a props or transforms (or whatever) configuration so that it happens automatically?

dedup is not a props or transforms .conf attribute.

I've yet to see a way to automatically filter for duplicates, but I'm new.

9 years down the line.. is this still the case? deduplication on a multi-value field is only done in search time?
