Dwight BaileyOk, it seems that duplicate categories occur if there already is a category of the same name but with the FIRST letter capitalized. So (for example) the already-existing category for one was “Faculty” but the data had “faculty”. So if the new category is created during the import, subsequent entries with the same category cause multiple copies of this category, which then must be deleted. I think it also can happen if the shortcode isn’t identical as well. An example was a “physical” category with a short code “physical-research-areas” instead of just “physical”.
Also, I noticed that, when importing already-existing records using the Entry ID, if we have blank fields and there is existing data (specifically we tested the website and bio fields), the preexisting data is not deleted. So if we have fields that need to be erased during Import CSV, how would we do this?
I hope this gets you closer to figuring out what is happening.
