Error description

• When trying to modify the OpenID Connect Relying Party custom
  properties (com.ibm.ws.security.oidc.client.RelyingParty) in a
  security domain via the Admin Console, the custom property gets
  duplicated:
  1. Add a property ex: 'identifier' with valid value 'ping2'
  2. Edit the property as 'provider_2.identifier' using the edit
  or delete option to re-enter the same property
  3. The property isn't updated and two entries are seen in the
  console and domain-security.xml, e.g.
   <trustProperties xmi:id="Property_1234869004738"
  name="identifier" value="ping2"/>
  ---
   <trustProperties xmi:id="Property_1534969441343"
  name="provider_2.identifier" value="ping2"/>
  
  The same issue has been observed when trying to edit/delete all
  custom properties.
  

Local fix

• Delete each property and re-create all properties
