# identifier_exists bug

 * there appears to be a bug in the field mapping : g:identifier_exists.
 * in my setup it always defaults to yes if i allow the plugin to determine, and
   it should be no.
 * so, i changed this to static value and entered “no”. the trouble is that this
   is then creating an empty field that has no field name just a value of no, and
   the identifier has no value
 * not sure that makes sense, but it creates a name/value pair that is
    identifier_exists:(
   blank) blank : no
 * so google cannot process the feed as the names and values do not line up
 * i have tried many times, same result always.

 * so in trying to fix this i moved identifier field to end and did static of no,
   this sort of seemed to work, but, now the field that was in that place (4th one
   from bottom) is now brand and value set to pa_brand (and this was working) and
   was picking up “snurk” but since moving identified to bottom the brand only ever
   returns a value of “yes” (which is what the identifier value always returned 
   🙁
 * it seems its not mapping things properly
