Why does the matrix field produce such a massive amount of duplicate information? The matrix field in Craft CMS is producing massive quantities of duplicate data. About 70 database rows per entry. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I don't think this will be sustainable for my database. The image embedded displays a fraction of the entries into the matrix table for a single Craft CMS structure entry.
Using Craft Pro 3.6.12
Per Oli, I ran ./craft gc for garbage collection. The matrix field went from 70+ (sometimes as much as 130) rows to 8. Still a terribly non-normalized database table, but much better than 70 records for one entry.
Thanks to Oli!
