Term merge doesn't work well: old nodes are not associated to the new destination term [#1253616]

Hi all,

I've just tried to merge a term (previously associated to node A) into another one (associated to other nodes), but I think something doesn't work well: the "old" term has been removed from its node (node A), but the new merged/destination term has not been associated with the same node that owned the old term (always node A).

Simply, the node A now has no term associated at all and the old term has been definitively removed from its vocabulary.

Things doesn't change selecting the "Keep merged terms" options: the old term is kept, but no new node association is made.

Thank you very much for considering this bug.

does the Term merge work without the Taxonomy Manager (using its own interface)? I haven't tested it that much.

Hi mh86 and thank you for your answer.

No, the issue still exists using Term Merge without Taxonomy Manager.

I opened an issue here: http://drupal.org/node/1160612 (see point number 2) but without so much success...

Thank you

Thanks for the update!
We have to wait until the Term merge module fixes the problem, there is nothing else I can do in the Taxonomy Manager

Hi Guys!

I've been very busy the last couple of months, and still am, so I don't know when I can get some time to fix this.

mh86, what you're trying to accomplish should work, at least it did for me the last time i checked. I will update my developer installation of Drupal 7 to 7.7 as soon as I get the time and see if I too get this problem.

Sorry for the wait, I'll come back to you!
