ComicVine is re-using IDs #219

Closed lordwelch closed 6 months ago

lordwelch commented 6 months ago

This isn't really a feature request. Just an FYI that ComicVine has been re-using issue IDs and they may not be accurate anymore on metron.cloud https://discord.com/channels/826493118106697758/826498038885122149/1216482175785111692

Thanks for the heads up, but I don't think this is something we need to worry about too much.

It looks like CV is going back to fix their handling of TPB (which used to be 1TPB -> 1 Series), and deleting some of the series during the consolidation and then reusing the old cv_id for new series.

So, this primarily only affects Trade Paperback's Series cv_id, and since we've always done TPB as consolidated under 1 series name, we've never added the cv_id at the Series level, so this shouldn't effect Metron.

Probably should add a validation to the Series form to prevent a cv_id from being added to a TPB.

If Comic Vine finishes merging their TPB's in the future, I can use Barda (an internal tool) to add the cv_id at a future date.
