Re: [LegacyUG] Location changed by merging records and closing location edit list
Brian, Thanks for checking, I will watch for this in the future and try to give you a step by step procedure. It has happened in the past. Maybe some other users will watch for it also.

[LegacyUG] Location changed by merging records and closing location edit list
Too tired to explain this step by step, but working from Individual edit page, looking up a location in GEO database, then seeing others on the location list that need to be merged, doing some of that, then NOT selecting the location last merged but it is highlighted, closing the edit list, changes the location to the last location edited. It should keep the original location as edited, Does NOT! That can ruin our records if not caught. I think I have seen this happen in the past with 7.5 and earlier versions.
