Incorrect export of MSK value in the FAERS E2B(R3) report

Summary

Negative ACK due to multiple MSK values transmitted for patient race in FAERS E2B(R3) report (Bug 38896603).

Before

When multiple patient race values with associated NCI codes were entered in a case with the Protect Confidentiality option enabled for the patient, the FAERS E2B(R3) report generated using the out‑of‑the‑box (OOTB) profile incorrectly exported the MSK (MASKED) value multiple times for the PATIENTRACE[FDA.D.11.r.1] element. This resulted in a negative acknowledgment (ACK) from the FDA.

After

When the Protect Confidentiality option is enabled for the patient, the FDA E2B(R3) FAERS report appropriately masks the race information and populates the PATIENTRACE[FDA.D.11.r.1] element only once with the MSK NullFlavor, irrespective of the number of race entries in the case.
