Forum → Recorder Troubleshooting and Bug Reports → Importing double-barrelled surnames
Just to report an unexpected behaviour when importing a record from a person with a double-barrelled name using the import wizard. If I import
Dr A. Smith-Jones
It comes up with one person as you would expect, but if I import
Smith-Jones, Dr A.
I get two people
Smith-Jones, and
Dr A.
Only a minor issue but just thought it could be noted and maybe corrected....
MARK
I think this is because the comma is used as a separator, and not related to double-barrelled names. Recorder thinks you are importing two observers. You could easily test this by trying to import:
Smith, Dr A.

Not so unfortunately, as importing
White, Dr A.
recognises one person, whilst importing
White-Smith, Dr A.
recognises two people
White-Smith
Dr A.
A quirk for people to be aware of...
MARK
Fair enough!
Best wishes,

Fixing this in the Recorder code is easy enough, but before I go ahead can anyone think of a usage of hyphens in the imported observers data which is not for a double barrelled name, so I can be sure I don't break anything?
