I'm using longtable to spread my table over three pages. Unfortunately the caption is also added three times to the list of tables. Is is possible to have it displayed only once?

use for the \endfirsthead the default \caption and for \endhead the starred version of \caption.

1Same here, for the starred version of
\captioninside longtables thecaptionpackage is not needed. – Axel Sommerfeldt Aug 18 '11 at 12:03 -

\caption*does not print the table number.\caption[]{…}does print the number but does not make an entry to the list of tables. – Schweinebacke Jun 7 '17 at 14:39

In case you want a numbered caption on follow-up table pages, use
\caption{<Caption Text>}
\endfirsthead
\caption[]{<Caption Text>}
\endhead
Minimal working example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{longtable}
\renewcommand*{\arraystretch}{5}% just for the example
\begin{document}
\listoftables
\section{foo}
\begin{longtable}{c}
\caption{A table}
\endfirsthead
\caption[]{A table}
\endhead
bar \\
bar \\
bar \\
bar \\
bar \\
bar \\
bar \\
bar \\
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

You can also use the \usepackage{tabularx} to solve the problem. The following code will produce a list of tables with a caption added only once.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{changepage}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{ltablex}
\usepackage{longtable}
\begin{document}
\listoftables
\begin{tabularx}{1\textwidth}{
>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}m{2cm}
>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}m{2.2cm}
>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}m{4cm}}
\caption{Table A} \label{tab:Table A} \\
\toprule
\textbf{Sample 1} & \textbf{Sample 2} & \textbf{Sample 3} \\
\midrule
\endfirsthead
\caption[]{Table A} \label{Table A} \\

Welcome to TeX.SE! Unfortunately;

\captionseveral times. Try to replace it all but the first with\caption*. This might require thecaptionpackage. – Martin Scharrer♦ Aug 18 '11 at 11:59\caption*inside longtables is offered by thelongtablepackage itself. So no need for thecaptionpackage.
