Additionally, creating any new record generates a duplicate.
Are they actually duplicates or were the records created twice? Merge animal reparents all of the medical/test/vacc/movements from the merged record into the selected record and then deletes the merged record. If you keyed in the records twice against both then it will look like duplicates. It would be dangerous for it to try and delete items that look like duplicates.
It appears like duplicates. The record that was merged into another (and was then deleted) did not have any vaccine, medical, or movement records prior to the merge. In the new merged animal record, I cannot create any new vaccine, medical, movement, etc. records without it creating a duplicate entry. Attempting to delete one of the duplicates, deletes both.
Ah, this sounds like a problem with a join making it appear like there are 2 versions of a record when there are 1. If you're using sheltermanager.com could you let me know your account number and point me at a record where this has happened so we can figure out what's going on? As you've seen, they aren't really duplicates and deleting them will delete the records. Email [email protected]
