Error Adding Multiple Add-On Adventures by Same Creator

I'm having an error when I try to add different adventure modules purchased in the marketplace that are made by MonkeyDM. When I add a new add-on by them, the information appears in the same folder in the journal, and wipes out the existing information there.
Looking more closely, it appears that MonkeyDM has given all their descriptions the same object ID, which is the problem.

This sounds like a bug and should likely be reported directly in a  Help Center Request  to ensure that dev eyes see it. I'll do my best to make the Powers That Be aware as well. In the meantime, does it still overwrite if you rename the existing addon folder to something else, and then add the second addon?
Hey Oren, You hit the nail on the head. We are reaching out to the creator to start getting things corrected to prevent this issue from occurring. In the immediate, we would recommend using the Rollback feature to recover any content that may have been lost. I don't have a definite time on when the issue will be fully resolved, but if you need any further assistance for this purchase, feel free to reach out via Roll20.net/help and our XP Team will see what we can do :)

Yeah, you would probably need to copy each potentially conflicting handout from the first addon, because the copy would have a new ID.  Then you would need to delete the originals, rename the new/copy, and redo any internal links.  Might not be too bad as a work around if there aren't a lot of them.

Once the creator re-issues the adjusted add-ons, you hopefully won't have to deal with the issue anymore.

Thank you! I'll go with this for now, as each adventure has 3 main handouts, and see if that works.
Actually, does using the "duplicate" feature on a handout create one with a new ID? Could I use that to copy them?
