Spouse Relationship Criteria

A constituent can only have one spouse relationship. In the Spouse relationship criteria field, you select whether to preserve the source or target’s spouse. If you select “Target’s Spouse,” the merge task preserves the spouse indicator on the target’s spouse relationship after the task associates the source’s spouse relationship with the target. If you select “Source’s Spouse,” the merge task preserves the spouse indicator on the source’s spouse relationship.

If the source or target, but not both, has a spouse relationship, the merge task preserves that spouse relationship regardless of the selection in the Spouse relationship criteria field.

Note: If you select “Source’s Spouse” from Spouse relationship criteria field and the source’s spouse relationship is a duplicate of one of the target’s spouse relationships, the target’s spouse relationship is preserved.
