Javascript entry duplicating in array with objects

Question

I'm trying to filter a list of processes and group together processes with the same name. It works however the grouped processes are duplicated and stay as their own.

I have tried messing with how it does it, checking if it already exists in the object, and a dozen other things.

You can see the raw data I'm trying to process here

Here is the code I have so far:

var seen = {};
data = data.filter(async function (entry) {
  var previous;
  if (seen.hasOwnProperty(entry[1].name)) {
    previous = seen[entry[1].name];
    var temp = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(entry[1]));

    if (!previous[1]["grouped"]) {
      previous[1]["grouped"] = true;
      previous[1].pid = "";
      previous[1].ppid = "";
      previous[1].ctime = "";
      previous[1].elapsed = "";
      previous[1].timestamp = "";

      previous[1]["subps"] = [];
      previous[1]["subps"].push(temp);
    }

    previous[1]["memory"] += entry[1].memory;
    previous[1]["cpu"] += entry[1].cpu;
    previous[1]["subps"].push(temp);
    return false;
  } else {
    seen[entry[1].name] = entry;
    return true;
  }
});
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, "  "));

Here is the output from said code. Here is the expected output.

Either I'm missing something really simple or I'm just stupid. Probably both.

ps. I have no idea what to title this.

The filter will not return your expected output, because it'll always return a data object from an existing array, not the one you created.
