Re: MapMate Import duplication
Found an annoying bug in the import routine when importing MapMate data - I am using the "MapMate Key" field so that the imported data is 'owned' by the MapMate CUK - this means that re-imported data should overwrite existing data effectively updating the records (this now appears to work correctly)
The problem is that although Recorder correctly overwrites the Taxon Occurrences - it often DOES NOT over write the sample and survey event - I'm assuming because Recorder uses the CUK of one of the taxon occurrences, it seems to be random as to which CUK it selects - this results in many events/samples with no records together with a matching event/sample containing the data - not the end of the world, but very annoying!
