accessibilityIdentifier is getting added multiple times when added inside for loop.
Below is my code

class viewModel {
    var availableSectionWithElements: [String: [String]]? = ["fruits" : ["Mangoes", "bananas"], "veg": ["Tomato", "carrots"]]
}

Struct mainView {
    VStack {
        ForEach(viewModel.availableSectionWithElements.indices, id: \.self) { index in
            let sectionTitle = viewModel.availableSectionWithElements[index].title
            Section {
                ForEach(viewModel.availableSectionWithElements[index].elements, id: \.self) { item in
                    NavigationLink(value: item) {
                        CellView(viewModel: viewModel.moreCellViewModel(element: item))
                            .accessibilityIdentifier("k")
                    }
                }
            }
        header: {
            MoreHeaderView(title: sectionTitle)
                .accessibilityIdentifier("\(HeaderView.self)\(index)")
        }
        }
    }
}

My accessbilityIdentifier is k-k-k when seen in Accessibility Inspector.

How to make sure to add accessibility identifier only once per view?

Instead of giving each CellView the same identifier "k", use some unique value like this:

...
CellView(viewModel: viewModel.moreCellViewModel(element: item))
    .accessibilityIdentifier("Cell_\(item)")
...
