In D365 Finance, if an account structure contains multiple rows with identical combinations of Main Account and financial dimension values, and you attempt to update just one financial dimension (e.g., shifting it to the right), the system applies the update to all matching rows.
For example, consider an account structure that includes a Main Account range along with financial dimensions FD1, FD2, FD3, and FD4. If multiple rows share the same values and you modify one dimension in one row for FD4, all corresponding rows are automatically updated as well.
Main Account FD1 (Dept) FD2 (Cost Center) FD3 (Region) FD4 (Project)

The feature is working as intended. Once the account structure is setup with matching rows for the first 3 columns, the 4th column is the only unique set of values that CAN be changed. If you modify the column 2 or 3, all rows will be updated as stated, since these are considered a group that should remain in sync.
The workaround to getting fresh set of criteria input for the structure is to open in excel the "Account Structure allowed values" and make all edits required before publishing back to the application.
