Support parsing aggregated strings upon reconciliation #2916

Open grantfitzsimmons opened 1 year ago

If we are to pull Collectors back into Specify 7 from Symbiota for instance, we need to be able to parse strings before merging the existing records

Fitzsimmons, Grant L; Fitzsimmons, Carter H; Fitzsimmons, Tyler S

The formatter in this case is Last Name, First Name Middle Name

We should be able to use the formatter to interpret the incoming values

Let's hope no one has a , or ; in their full name, or a space as a separator
