Extra AOV's in exr

[ericthmpsnart]

Any AOV's that have been added to render show up multiple times inside the same exr file. I tried opening a blank Maya file, reset everything to default and rendered a couple of basic spheres with crypto passes turned on. When I open the exr in composting softwares, it has multiple of the same channel for some reason. See image below. how do i get rid of AOV duplicates? I've also tried turning on and off merge AOV same result. Thanks.

Those are the standard cryptomatte EXR layers. With a depth of 6, you get 3 layers: 00, 01, and 02.

The other layer (like crypto_object) is the deprecated preview layer
