OpenStudio 2.4 - EnergyPlus Measure Adding/Editing Output:Table:Monthly Objects

I am working on an EnergyPlus Measure for OS 2.4 that edits the Output:Table:Monthly objects. I was unable to edit the objects using methods I have used previously for other measures, so I made a measure that deletes all the Output:Table:Monthly objects and then adds the Output:Table:Monthly objects I want. This works great, but then it appears that OpenStudio adds in it's own Output:Table:Monthly objects after my EnergyPlus measure edits the .idf file. The pre-preprocess.idf looks exactly how I would expect it to from my measure, but then the in.idf has four more Output:Table:Monthly that I cannot edit or delete with my script. Does anyone know how to stop OS from adding these Output:Table:Monthly objects after I edit the .idf with a measure?
