Duplicate State District Records #5

Closed jimcrist closed 5 years ago

jimcrist commented 6 years ago

I'm using Open States API - Districts (Daily) Adds state representative districts to contacts API Entity: OpenStates API Action: districts

One of our supporters moved, so I deleted their state district records. Waited a day. The scheduled job ran. It created 4 records instead of two, duplicating the upper and lower chamber records. I see this a lot. When I bring up a CiviCRM contact record, often there are 4 records instead of two. How come? Thanks for your work on this! Jim

Hey Jim,

Yeah, duplicates are a known issue because of the way Civi's API handles custom data sets that allow multiple values. I've got some new funding to improve the extension, so I'll keep this mind while I'm working through the rewrite and see if I can fix it.
