Civi Contact Reference and De-Dupe
November 18, 2013, 10:24:00 am
I have a functionality question relating to Civi 4.3 and Drupal's contact reference fields. Since these fields are storing Civi's contact id, if I were to have duplicate contacts in Civi and then go through the de-duping process, would any Drupal contact reference fields be updated in this process, or would I be looking at some potentially broken connections?

Thanks much!

I would expect them to break - should be easy enough to test?

Pete is a cynic - I was going to say they should get updated but you need to test :-)

Assumed that would be the answer but just wanted to make sure no one else had already documented this. Will test this out and post back once it's been completed.

Looking at the code, I'd say the answer is "no".
It should be an easy fix though.
Need to implement hook_civicrm_merge similar to how I did here in webform_civicrm.

I would have thought that should be treated as a bug rather than something to fix in an extension.

Eileen I agree it is a bug.
But civicrm_contact_reference is a module, so that's where the fix would be implemented.

Ah - I had thought we were talking about civicrm contact reference fields (which hopefully do update on merge). My mistake I can see it was clearly stated now

Yeap, I happen to know who fixed that: http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-9561
I guess that nominates me to fix it in the module as well...

oooh karma +

But if you were smart you'd look at who the job is assigned to rather than who supplied the fix when nominating :-)

Sorry, you can't repeat a karma action without waiting 1 hours.

(did you know it did that?)
