Find a way to merge duplicated terms

steinmb commented 3 years ago

In terms we have taxonomy terms that is the same, just spelled differently.

Motivation

Manually changing these are labour intensive and error prone.

Suggested solution

TBD

@jilltxt - There is https://www.drupal.org/project/term_merge but it is still i a early alpha stage.

I gave the module issue queue a little stir to see if the maintainers respond. I do not have high expectations. The current alpha is a year old.

I think the best solution is rolling our own solution for this.

Example

Node 1 -> Term A
Node 2 -> Term B
Node 3 -> Term C
Node 4 -> Term C, Term B

Lets say term C is the one we decide to keep. The end result should be:

Node 1 -> Term C
Node 2 -> Term C
Node 3 -> Term C
Node 3 -> Term C

@steinmb I think there is actually a bug in Drupal - or an unfortunate feature. If a free tag is entered twice in one entry, and it's never been entered before, then two SEPARATE taxonomy items are created for the new tag. At least when it's entered in two separate paragraphs in the same entry.

I think we can close this - we don't need to solve it.
