It sounds like mvexpand is doing exactly what it is supposed to do, that is, create duplicate events except for the field being expanded, which will contain each of the values in the multi-value field in separate events.

Please explain the question with sample data and sample output, then explain why you feel the output is wrong.  Otherwise it's just a waste of time for others to try to speculate what the question really is.
