Calculation Function: Dedup or non-invasive REMOVE for lists

When trying to write out a function, we keep running into a situation as we get deeper into the hierarchy, and information is pulled from ancestors we keep having occasional duplicate values that might form a list.


There are no functions or methods to search easily and remove the duplicates. The remove function removes all occurrences if you call out the name of it, a deduplicate function would be extremely helpful.


Expected format: dedup(list,0/-1) 0 would remove the first instance of the duplicate found, -1 would remove the last instance of the duplicate found
