**Expected behavior**
Seeing a Success confirmation when merging (`/merge.jsp`) …two individuals in Wildbook removes the ID of the merged individual.
**Current behavior**
This has only been reported in ACW so far.
A success message on the merge page did not actually merge the two individual IDs. Manually removing the Identity on the encounter page and reassigning to an existing ID resulted in the following error:

While merge errors have also been reported in other Wildbook this week ([1](https://community.wildme.org/t/sharkbook-cannot-merge-individuals/4618) | [2](https://community.wildme.org/t/merge-function-in-seadragonsearch-not-co-operating-on-one-individual/4635)) they did not ultimately prevent two individuals from merging.
