Description
- _alt only preserves one of several alternative fields, while _merge concatenates them
- Important: _alt is still needed in cases where multiple input fields can serve as the unique key for a table, but additional input fields are also mapped elsewhere as their primary destination
- e.g. occurrenceID being used as location.sourceaccessioncode when no locationID is available
in addition to changing the mappings, the auto-alts added by bin/map should be changed to _merges
