To illustrate the problem, I ran:
sbatch --wrap "sleep 10" --comment="$(printf "\n\nJobID=12345\n\n")"
And I found this in my `scontrol show job` output:

Using slurm 25.11.7 $ scontrol show job --oneline <jobid> JobId=<jobid> JobName=wrap ... ... SubmitLine=sbatch --wrap sleep 10 -p <partition> -A <account> -N 1 -n 1 --comment= JobID=12345 WorkDir=/path/to/work/dir Comment= JobID=12345 StdErr= StdIn=/dev/null ... $ so, if you have "SubmitLine=" in the output (which I don't see in yours?), then you, or your parsing tools, should be able to "see" both the CLI comment, the bit after "--comment=", and the "stored" comment, the bit after "Comment=". Still not as trivial as parsing the "marked-up" outputs in json or yaml format, but at least you can identify a duplication.
