Description

This new command line task would allow users to provide the task with the slugs of two authority records - the source, and target. When run, any description relations present on the source authority record would be moved to the target authority record - existing relations on the target should be unaffected and still present, in addition to the new relations from the source.

Notes and limitations

  • This task will not delete either authority record. That must be done manually after the task is run, if desired
  • The task will move description relations - not other relations, such as related actors
  • This task does not attempt to merge actor metadata. Any metadata from the target that a user desires to see on the source must be manually added

Seems to work really well - haven't been able to test it at a very large scale, but it successfully moved about 10 relations in under a minute, and it works with all event types for description relations, including name access points. Nice work!
