Description:
Issue 16384-12401
Module: import
Related module: any module/program that uses import (Acq, Cat, Bulkimport)
Reported in: Voyager 7.2.1
Replicated in: 5-7.2.3

Expected results:
Record should properly bi-directional merge if incoming record is of lower quality than target.

Actual results:
If the Quality Hierarchy has a 040a listed highest in the Hierarchy, and the incoming record has an 040|a the system will replace instead of bi-directional merge.

Replication:
incoming bib’s 040 data
‡a DLC ‡d YDX ‡d BAKER ‡d BTCTA ‡d YDXCP ‡d ERASA ‡d TOZ ‡d YAM ‡d OrLoB-B

Target bib’s 040 data
‡a DLC ‡d YDX ‡d BAKER ‡d BTCTA ‡d YDXCP ‡d ERASA ‡d TOZ ‡d YAM

Hierarchy in bib duplicate detection profile for Bi Directional profile:
‡a DLC
‡d BAKER
‡d BTCTA
‡d ERASA
‡d TOZ
‡d YAM
‡d YDX
‡d YDXCP
*
When imported using the Bi-Directional Merge profile with above hierarchy, the record is replaced (not bi-directional merged)

If the 040a in hierarchy is removed or moved to the bottom of the hierarchy, the record is bi directional merged

Workaround: Remove the 040a from Hierarchy

Resolution:
Not replicable in Voyager 8.2.2.
