The Duplicate CI Remediator for deduplication tasks is updated with the `sn_sec_cmn_src_ci.cmdb_ci` property.

Whenever a deduplication task is used to update the configuration items (CIs), it also updates the discovered items related to those CIs. Hence, the test results are updated with the CI. For details, see [CI changes for discovered items for Configuration Compliance](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/CfI40iJE8bxpbAIQGVD4Uw "The default value of the property sn_sec_cmn.update_on_ci_change is true. So, when the configuration item (CI) for a discovered item is updated, the test results are updated as well.").
