      Two different release groups were added to a series (edit #47300316, edit #47300411). The release groups were then merged (edit #48029087). This left the remaining release group in the series twice. Although a single entity can be in a series multiple times, it is probably seldom the intention when merging. Thus all but one of the relationships should be removed when merging.

      On a related but different note, it seems like duplicates don't display right. One of them has no number of the releases, see the attached picture.

          [MBS-9494] Merging entities part of series leaves duplicate in the series

          We were thinking about this, but we're not sure it's a great idea or safe to just assume we can "keep one" entry - entries are ordered, and the order can have a purpose. This seems to be the kind of thing where a report allowing users to clean the cases that pop up makes sense, so for now I entered MBS-13957.

          imho it could be a good idea, if series behaved a bit like releases, i.e. that you could select to merge entities or not (releases allow merging (append as new medium) and merging (merge all recordings))
