Duplicate termnames importing values for termfields which are used in multiple contenttypes [#2119591]

Hi,

I have exactly the same as stated here: https://drupal.org/node/1039134#comment-7346894 and create this new issue for that.
When I reuse a termfield iin another content type then the import creates new tags/terms with the same name again and again...
i think also it fails in feeds/mappers/taxonomy.inc line #141:

case FEEDS_TAXONOMY_SEARCH_TERM_NAME: ......

It just can't find that a term/tag with this name already exists...

How can I get only one term per term-name created within the vocabulary. I am already a whole day bussy altering the vocabulary through term-merge now because of so many duplicate terms.
Thanks a lot in advance for your reply!

Greetings, Martijn

I have the same problem.
As a fix, using the 7.x-1.x-dev version of Term Merge Works the best because it auto detects duplicates. There's still a lot of clicking if you have a lot of terms though.

Hi,
@vegansupreme I have exactly the same strategy as you but off course this is not a fix, but a labor intensive work around. The good part that the module builder of term merge has build in some great stuff from my needs, but still it is a work around and not a real fix..
Does anyone experience the same problem and have a real fix?

Summit, you're absolutely right, it's not a fix. I meant to edit my post but figured it was too late. I just wanted to recommend the 1.x-dev branch of term merge. Last I checked, the 2.x branch wasn't working for me, at least the duplicate merge feature wasn't working correctly.

Back to finding a real fix: I've been using Feeds off and on for quite a while, and I'm sure this problem wasn't happening a few months ago. Maybe try Alpha6 or 7.

I think I've found a much better work around! VBO has a similar (identical?) issue:
#1507216: Adding new terms to nodes using autocomplete widget creates duplicate entries in vocabulary
I used the code in #7 to make a custom module, and poof! Feeds no longer creates duplicate terms! See also
#1812794: Prevent storing duplicat references
In this issue, there's a patch for VBO that may or may not work for feeds. I've not tried it on feeds. The custom module work around worked for me.

--EDIT: This might not actually be working! Will update again soon, when I confirm.
--EDIT: It DOES seem to be working. I may have just used incorrect import/tamper settings.
