We have many duplicate authority records dating back from the original conversion, with some duplicates appearing over 50 times. Manually merging them in pairs takes forever. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

At my library we come across this problem whenever we're looking to merge authorities. Many times there are more than just 2 authorities we want to merge together, and it's a painstaking process when we can only do 2 at a time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18583 --- Comment #9 from Owen Leonard <oleonard@myacpl.org> --- One of the good things about the current method of selecting authority records for merging is that you can select one record, click to a different page of results, and then select the second record. Is this functionality what we would want to extend for batch operations? The other option is to add checkboxes to authority search results and offer batch operations like we do in bibliographic search results. This is limited to selections on the current page. I'm inclined to do the latter since one would be likely to be merging records which came up together in search results. It would be possible to offer both options but I'm concerned that having both would be confusing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18583 --- Comment #10 from Phil Ringnalda <phil@chetcolibrary.org> --- It's rather confusing UI (and code, the last time I came near it), but there is a third option: the accumulating checkboxes of Item search, where you can pick two on the first page, five on the second, all twenty on the 2356th page. And once you're to the point of merging authority records, you've pretty much gotten over being intimidated by complex and unclear UI. I wouldn't want to lose the current merge-two UI, though, because at least once every couple of weeks I need to merge two things that cannot be found in one search, much less put on one page (short of editing both to add a unique string). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Aren't these two functionally the same? Couldn't we drop the latter in favor of the former? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18583 --- Comment #12 from Phil Ringnalda <phil@chetcolibrary.org> --- Oh, yes of course they are. I knew that from having seen bug 38438, but I don't regularly use item search so I hadn't internalized that it persists across searches. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
