Best way to change a value of a property. It's within an object of an array of objects

I'm trying to switch the value of selected from whatever it currently is (true or false) to the opposite when a user clicks on a checkbox. My toggleCheck function is supposed to return all data with the altered select value. Here's the data structure. It's an object with arrays that have objects.

{
    "ModuleName": [{
            "module": "string",
            "selected": false,
            "name": "title",
            "points": [{
                    "category": "category1",
                    "description": "desc1",
                    "provided": "provided1"
                },
                {
                    "category": "category1",
                    "description": "desc",
                    "provided": "something"
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "module": "string",
            "selected": false,
            "name": "title_one",
            "points": [{
                    "category": "category1",
                    "description": "desc1",
                    "provided": "provided1"
                },
                {
                    "category": "category1",
                    "description": "desc",
                    "provided": "something"
                }
            ]
        }
    ],
    [...],
    [...]
}

My closest attempt but it's the wrong format

function toggleCheck(checkedValue, valuesArr) {
    return {
        value: Object.entries(valuesArr).map(([key, values], i) =>
            values.map((x) => {
                return {
                    ...x,
                    selected:
                        x.name === checkedValue.name ? !x.selected : x.selected,
                };
            })
        ),
    };
}

probably cause I used a map it wrapped it in an array

[
   [ 
      {},
      {},
      {}
   ],
   [...],
   [...]
]

^^^ What I got

{
    "Name": [  {},
               {},
               {}
            ],
    "Name": [...],
    "Name": [...]
}

^^^ What I need

function toggleCheck(checkedValue, valuesArr) {

    //Step 0: Change the value in the data
    let checked = Object.entries(valuesArr).map(([key, values], i) =>
        values.map((x) => {
            return {
                ...x,
                selected:
                    x.name === checkedValue.name ? !x.selected : x.selected,
            };
        })
    );

    //Step 1: Group the modules into like arrays
    let grouped = checked .flat().reduce(function (r, a, i) {
        if (!i || r[r.length - 1][0].module !== a.module) {
            return r.concat([[a]]);
        }
        r[r.length - 1].push(a);
        return r;
    }, []);

    //Step 2: Assign the new object properties as the arrays. 
    //The key being the module name.
    let newObj = {};
    grouped.map((x, i) => {
        newObj[x[0].module] = x;
    });

    return {value: newObj};
}

In your question you wrote:

{
    "Name": [  {},
               {},
               {}
            ],
    "Name": [...],
    "Name": [...]
}

^^^ What I need


this can't be exist in JS object. Only the last assignment of the name property will be taken into account, all the previous ones are only old values of this property

codding :

const data = 
  { name:'aaa'
  , name:'bbb'
  , name:'ccc' 
  }

is the same as coding

const data = {}
data.name = 'aaa'
data.name = 'bbb'
data.name = 'ccc'

proof:

const data = 
  { name:'aaa'
  , name:'bbb'
  , name:'ccc' 
  }

console.log( data )
.as-console-wrapper {max-height: 100% !important;top: 0;}
.as-console-row::after {display: none !important;}
