Stephen (havan) | 330 comments I recently tried to add the character named Rolan to a couple of books and ran into a problem.

When adding Rolan from the list of an author's characters in the right column it appears that clicking on (add) creates a new instance of that character (new number) rather than using the existing one.

The character Rolan https://www.goodreads.com/characters/... has the most information about him but there seem to be at least 4 other variations out there.
Some ARE the same character
https://www.goodreads.com/characters/...
https://www.goodreads.com/characters/...
Others are NOT
https://www.goodreads.com/characters/...

Yet it's impossible to tell one from the other in the prompt list.

And simply trying to merge them doesn't work as many don't show up.
