[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Incomplete Subject Merge

[Jaime Margalotti]

We just upgraded to version 10.0.9, after having been on 10.0.0 for a long
while.  I'm currently working to clean up our use of subject terms and I'm
making use of the Merge feature.  In the old version, I did not encounter
the following problem.

I attempted to merge the Subject "Businessmen" into the Subject
"Businesspeople."

ArchivesSpace did indeed change the "Businessmen" tag into a
"Businesspeople" tag for the records.  When you look at those records, the
tag appears as you would expect.  However, the new records are not linked
to "Businesspeople" and are not listed on the page for that Subject.  If I
do a keyword search for "Businesspeople,"  the records do not come up.  If
I do a keyword search for "Businessmen,"  the records do still come up and
the term "Businessmen" appears on the left as a valid Subject.  Despite
this, there is no longer an actual Subject page for "Businessmen."

Is this an ArchivesSpace issue or could something have gone wrong on our
end when we made the upgrade?  If this doesn't entirely make sense, I can
send some screenshots to hopefully clear up the issue.

Thanks,
Jaime
