Places - Matching Feed account adding incorrect external provider link

Is this a…:
Standard bug
Steps to reproduce this issue:
I am seeing places that have been edited recently by the Matching Feed account, that will goes around and updates/add the external provider link to places in WME, add the incorrect external provider link.

Blatantly incorrect, the link it added is over 400m way from the place point it was working on. The address of the link was incorrect and didn’t match the address of the place point it was working on.

I found about 3 or 4 of these in Ocean City Maryland. I fixed them before realizing the pattern. The picture attached is the one I have left alone so that you can investigate.

In the picture provided you can see the Blue highlighted place has the incorrect address, and is over 400m away from this place pin. Also, as a note, the 5301 address is in WME as a candy kitchen place point and is linked correctly. So this external link was now on 2 places simultaneously.

Environment where the bug occurs…:
NA

Hi @JasonN899,

Thank you for your report.
This issue has already been raised here, so I will move your post to that thread to make sure we keep all relevant details in one place.
Just wanted to note that this bug has been occurring for quite some time and we are aware of its impact - it’s a complex one and therefore requires significant effort to resolve.

Best regards,
