Removing duplicates

Does anyone know when the issue with not being able to merge duplicates is going to get fixed?  We have multiple duplicates that we have been unable to merge & heard version 13 was going to fix this issue, but don't know the timing.

Thanks

    Thanks everyone.  Looks like this was fixed in version 12.7.  We got the update & merging is working now.  Appreciate the help.

    Hey Dave,

    I think I need a little clarification. What version of Rock are you currently using? Is your starting point from a person grid, then the  "merge person records" icon, Is that what isn't working for you or are your trying from somewhere else?

    Typically if an email or phone is removed from the extra, new, duplicate record first and then you re-try the merge it'll take.

    Another scenarios is if there is a duplicate that somehow also got added to the same family, follow the removal of the email/phone first from above and then bounce that extra, new, duplicate person record out into their own family first. Then re-try the merge.

    Either of these has worked for me.

    I'm just searching for someone by entering their name & then 2 or 3 entities of them come up.  Then clicking on merge, selecting what info to keep & merging.

    Getting the message below:

    Merge Error

    The following error occurred when attempting the merge: An error occurred while executing the command definition. See the inner exception for details.


    I was told by our developer that this was supposed to be fixed in version 13.  I guess I thought we were updating every time a new release came out, but I don't know where to look to see what our current version is.

    Dave,

    If you go through the Person - > Merge People page and add the records you want to merge to the list you should be good to merge them.
