"Update notes if newer" only works one time

Anki Help

It seems when importing that “update notes if newer” does not work properly after having already used it once.

To recreate the problem:

  1. Export a note (to .apkg)
  2. Change the values of the fields in the note
  3. Export the newer note to a different file
  4. Repeat 2-4
  5. In a different profile import the old note
  6. Import version 2 and 3 with “Update notes if newer” enabled

The second time updating, the importer gives the message:

1⁩ note already present in your collection.

And skips updating it.

Version ⁨24.11 (97e6b3d3)⁩
