- created · Lindsay Pallister 18 Mar 2026 14:30Hi, we've noticed some duplicate contact records in the brain for a few commissioners. For example, there are two entries for the same person with slightly different spellings of their name. Could you help us clean these up?
- public_reply · Kate Ormerod 18 Mar 2026 17:37Hi Lindsay, thanks for flagging this. I can see those duplicate entries in your data. This usually happens when contact details are updated in your source systems. I'll help you merge these records. Can you try that and tell me what you see? Thanks, Kate
