Activity on Dedupe?
January 19, 2015, 02:21:13 am
Dear CiviTeamers,

Every so often I gasp when I see that someone was sent the same message twice: calamity!

And then I see that they were added to two supposedly mututally exclusive groups: oh noes!

And then I realise that it was someone who was deduped, but there's no activity to confirm if this is the case.

So how about it? An activity of dedupes. It could include:
1) A link to the deleted contact.
2) As the target the remaining contact after the dedupe.
3) As the source the person who did the deduplication.

How about it? Would other people like this feature? What else should it include?

John

I certainly would like that feature.  Whenever  I merge records, I  manually create a (custom) Merged records activity with the text that appears on the upper right of the screen on merge as the subject.   

There is already a jira issue very similar to this. https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-14792.  I created it and it has been assigned to me as I thought it would be within my very limited capabilities and no one else has ever expressed interest in it.

I have just released it back into the wild, so feel free to grab it if you want it.
