List	Version	Source flow	Name there	Why this flow
agribalyse	3.2	01965ae2-da81-5cad-a93e-5759cb34ddc1	Technetium-99m	The CAS numbers are the same (378784-45-3); both name the same compartment.
bafu	2026-v1	15e1d599-5ff9-5ce5-9d9c-3c047b149526	Technetium-99m	This substance answers to the name the row carries; no flow of this substance sat in that compartment, so this one was created for the row.
bafu	2026-v1	8a7cee4c-e5d8-5536-a375-f6328bdf93ae	Technetium-99m	This substance answers to the name the row carries; both name the same compartment.

A flow can be wrong in three ways, and they are decided differently. Pick the one that matches what you are looking at.

You do not need to run a build or clone anything. Name the row and say what your evidence is; the measurement is done for you. How contributing works
