Changes proposed in this Pull Request:
This PR adds a CLI script related to but slightly different from the script to delete specific merge fields #3623. The new script identifies duplicate instances of merge fields with the same name in the connected Mailchimp account, then consolidates data in all instances of the field for all members in the audience into the single oldest instance of the field, then deletes all other instances of the field.
How to test the changes in this Pull Request:
wp newspack mailchimp merge-fields fix-duplicates --dry-run
and confirm that it reports the duplicate fields but doesn't make any changes to the Mailchimp data or fields:--dry-run
flag and confirm in your Mailchimp account that it a.) consolidates all of the contact data you added to the duplicate fields into the oldest instance of the field, and b.) deletes all other instances of the field.Other information:
