Bulk import with IDs creates multiple individual records with the same ID

Hi there,

I’ve just had a WKB user report an issue with duplicate IDs created after the IDs were assigned in the system - the data was uploaded as un-ID’d. I’ve reported it here: WKB user reports duplicate IDs

It reminded me of this report and the fact that it’s still not resolved.

I’m not clear on what else is needed to create the script to de-duplicate /merge the IDs listed above; I’m not sure that these were all linked to a bulk import or if these happened in some other way, like the Whiskerbook example.

So I’ve created search criteria for each of the duplicate ID’s listed above. Hopefully this will enable @jason to merge the records and create a single instance of each Marked Individual page:

It would be great to finally get these cleaned up. Hopefully the above is sufficient to make that possible but if not, please let me know what else is needed.

thanks!
