  Cause:
  The error message "Node &1: reference ID &2 is already being used" suggests that:

  Change the reference ID of one of the nodes to a unique value.
  Ensure that the new reference ID does not conflict with any existing IDs in the DMEE tree.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After making the necessary changes, save the DMEE tree configuration.
  
  
  Test the Configuration: Run the DMEE process again to ensure that the error has been resolved and that the output is generated correctly.
