When duplicate entries are merged, the duplicate items themselves are also removed

[only-interester]

For example, the duplicate items 93/186 are not merged into 93 items in the end, but all 186 items are deleted? ? Is this a bug or is there something wrong with my plug-in options? My plug-in options are to keep the existing ones and the earliest ones added. The plug-in version is 3.0.3.

Hi @only-interester,

Thanks for your feedback. The expected merge process should be:

1. If both the master and duplicate items have values for the same field, keep the value from the master item.

2. If a field in the master item is empty but has a value in the duplicate items, fill the master item with the value from the duplicate.

3. After processing, delete the duplicate items and retain only the master item.

Is this the same way as yours? If not, I will debug it and update you on the findings.

Thank you so much!

Best,
Chenglong

My actual use of the process: first of all, the duplicate entries were judged to be 93/186, I think the normal should be merged to retain 93 items, however, after the actual merger of the 186 items are deleted into the recycle bin, only retained 0 items, I think this is not reasonable!

Oh, I see! I thought 93 and 186 were item IDs 😂.

May I know where you merge them? In the dialog or the Duplicate Item pane?

I'm fixing a similar bug in the dialog. Will release the new version soon.

Thanks.

Best,

I did the merge in the Duplicate Item pane

Okay, thanks for the valuable feedback. I'll check and fix it soon.
