How do you bypass customer profile duplication when editing a profile that has already been referenced on a few orders.

  • I know it is a design feature to protect historic data as mentioned here
  • I am editing the profile trough the ui

Is there a easy way to achieve this without module editing?

  • Without hacking the module, a lot, there's no way to remove that feature (and I stress the word 'feature' there). Saving historical order information is vital so the workflow they've chosen is completely correct IMO. You could try opening up a feature request for the module though I doubt it'll get too far - as I say, they've already got it right and to change or provide an alternative would be a lot of work for little conceivable gain

Since you've already linked my article on the topic, I'll just answer definitively here that there is no way to do this through the user interface. The code I show in that article is the only way to bypass customer profile duplication, but if you wanted to you could apply it to a user interface in a custom module. Just be careful you don't give administrators more control than is safe for your historical order data.
