Can you please check the status of those Objects beside each instances of the same objects. Let me explain you:

1. For the first time during the creation of roles the Objects pulled into the Prof. Generator are in status called "Standard".

2. Some of them are already coming with values field up for all fields of some objects. So you need to put any value there if you agree to the value proposed by SAP (from Customer Table USOBT_C and USOBX_C). But if you do wish to change such objects which is already green as standard, then you should:

=> first COPY the object [ Copy option can be found from Utilities -> Settings -> Mark "For Copying Authorization" ] into another Instance.

=> Deactivate the Standard One.

=> Change the Field values in the Copied object. It will be shown as "Changed".

3. Some Objects Appears with Fields filled up partially.. some of them are kept blank for the Admin to fill up as per the Customer's requirement. Here you can put the values in the Blank fields directly in the Standard Object. It's status will be changed to "Maintained". But, if you wish to change the proposed values of the Fields which are appearing Green with SAP Proposed values, then you need to follow the COPY + Deactivate process described in point 2.

If you do not follow this and go for changing the Standard one Directly then it will make a disorder with the status of the Objects for TCodes mapped with Customer Table and will pull the same object as standard in prof. gen. as many times you enter in the role in change mode (with "Read Old status and Merge w/ New data"). So, in these cases same object will appear repeatedly with the Standard Proposal as per Customer table.

It is happening in you case also. Please check and confirm.
