Import Deceased=Yes should not automatically create a Tribute record

When I ran an Import (Database View) to update existing constituents' Deceased field to Yes, the Import process automatically created a In Memory tribute record even when a tribute record already exists. This addition was not expected and not documented in the Import tool. May I suggest to either clearly call it out or remove the automatic creation?

How can I clean this up now? Is there a way to identify the extraneous tribute records so that they can be deleted? eg by the tribute creation date?

Update: I found out later that there is a setting in Config > Business Rules that dictates the creation of the In Memory record, which was turned on. Suggest that this be added to the Attributes description.

    Glad you found out that this was a business rule.
