[Bug]: dwc import will create multiple collecting events for the same collecting event

[teleaslamellatus]

Steps to reproduce the bug

1.import subset of a dwc occurence dataset (UNH bees)
2.two specimens have the same collecting event information
3. Taxonworks create two collecting events

Expected behavior

I expect the collecting events are parsed and only one event is created, but perhaps it is not a big deal as later they will be merged by the database, so we should not worry about that. It is the production already, I was just wondering if we should be concerned about this or not.

Thanks!

The current way to prevent the import from creating multiple CEs is to use eventID. With it you tell the importer that several records refer to the same CE when they share the same ID.

Thank you, Hernan!

Is it a huge problem to have multiple copies of the same collecting event in Taxonworks?

Also, we would like to batch-upload many images to already existing collection objects. As I understood, it should be done with your assistance.
