Entity key error when merging duplicates

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,575

Hello, 

When trying to merge 2 contacts we are now regularly seeing this error: 


A record that has the attribute values {1} already exists. The entity key {0} requires that this set of attributes contains unique values. Select unique values and try again.

I am aware of this fix "crmtipoftheday.com/.../" but the point is, as far as I am aware we have not added any alternate keys. Is there a way of querying all of crm to find if/where alternate keys have been created, rather than having to check entity-by-entity?
Many thanks,

- Seamus

    Hi Seamus,

    Yes, you could install a tool named Alternate Key Manager to do this.

    Then load and check all entities is ok:
