What happened?

If a user has a rule with multiple entries in the "one of" list (consider Payee A and Payee B) for payee match and the payee names are merged into Payee A, reopening the rule will show Payee A twice in the "one of" list. Removing the duplicate will unintentionally remove both entries from the rule.

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Create a default rule to assign a category. For example, when payee is one of "Burger Drops Montreal", "Burger Drops Toronto", or "Campechano" and assign a category of "restaurants"
  2. Create a new PRE rule where any imported payee with a name containing "Burger Drops" is renamed to "Burger Drops" and apply to all existing entries.
  3. Accept the merge of payee names where rules will be merged
  4. Open the first rule and see duplicate entries in the "one of" list
  5. Remove the duplicate "Burger Drops" entry and save
  6. Re-open the rule and see that "Burger Drops" is gone entirely
