Duplicate Venues in Auto-Suggestion

[Prashant Kanse]

Description:
While creating an event, I’m seeing duplicate venues in the auto-suggestion dropdown. I have already updated all venue records to ensure they have the exact same name and details, but three options are still appearing with identical information.

Steps Taken:

• Fetched all venue records via API

• Normalized the details for each duplicate venue (name, address, lat/long)

• Confirmed updates were saved successfully

Current Behavior:
Despite the updates, multiple duplicate venue entries continue to appear when selecting a venue.

Expected Behavior:
Only one venue should be suggested when all details match.

Attachment:

Question:
Is there a way to merge or remove duplicate venues from the system?
