9 months ago - Yes. Each community record is an independent DH item, including a reference to the atom. We could change the duplicate action to ignore community records, but copying the protocols from only the original record could certainly result in a different level of access to the media than the original site in many cases.
- We have views like /manage/scald-atoms that allow you to filter by protocol/no protocol, if that helps. Another VBO for batch assignment of specific protocols could be added. Showing atoms with multiple references is more difficult, the full data we need isn't easily captured in a Drupal view, but I think it is possible. Though it's another situation where there's no guarantee any one user on a site will be able to see the whole "picture", depending on their memberships.

1) Do atoms get flagged as referenced by multiple items if it's used in a DH item with community records? I'm seeing a lot of them in my tests and that seems likely.
2) I suspect lots of sites are going to end up with a real mix of unreferenced and multi-referenced atoms (see below - out of 1530 atoms that needed a protocol assignment, 690 were able to duplicate from item). I don't know if we can practically do anything to make this step more manageable, but in a lot of cases I wouldn't even know where to start hunting down multi-referenced atoms. At least with unreferenced atoms if those could be separated out I bet many would be deleted or assigned a single review protocol...
