Hi Akshay I too copied a new config from the control panel today. It also has duplicate entries the same as yours for itemId, itemType and itemNickname for every screen. The app runs fine though. I plugged my config file into jsonlint.com out of curiosity - pressed 'Validate' and the duplicate entries were removed.

Hey guys... Yes, duplicate entries are "not allowed" in the JSON spec and it does look like something is inserting duplicates somewhere when generating the JSON output for the config data. I've seen this before (heard about it) and have it on the priority list... It doesn't appear to be affecting anything "seriously" but should be found / fixed. It will be :-)
