I made some test on my development server with simple preset and register a simulator.  
My surprise is that if there are at least one line of setting the value of a parameter or tag are executed, the provisioning script will be executed twice.  
But it will only executed once if there are no value changed.

# Here is my provisioning scripts :

log(“Provisioning”);  
const now = Date.now();  
log(“MN-DEBUG STARTED”);

let myboot = declare(“Events.1\_BOOT”, {value: 1});  
if (myboot.value !== undefined) {  
log(“1 BOOT”);  
}

//let SN=declare(“DeviceID.ID”,{value: 1}).value;  
let SN=declare(“DeviceID.SerialNumber”,{value: 1}).value;

# declare(“Tags.Provisioned”, null, {value: true}); declare(“Tags.Provisioned2”, null, {value: true}); declare(“Tags.Provisioned3”, null, {value: true});

If the device already has all 3 tags, the provisioning only run once. But if there’s at least one Tag not there, the provisioning will run twice for the same event.

# Here is my log says if It doesn’t have all those tags

Is this expected behaviors ? If yes, what is the reason behind that ?  
In my opinion, the one preset must be only run once for the matching condition.

This is expected behavior as GenieACS enforces declarative definitions. This is explicitly stated on documentation: [Provisions — GenieACS Documentation 1.2.8 documentation](https://docs.genieacs.com/en/latest/provisions.html)
