Hi Ohana Family!

I am getting this error (see below)... when trying to import 2 new duplication rules into my sandbox (via ANT but also via change sets). The sandbox has 3 other contact rules.

It seems not possible to import duplication rules partially due to the order, is this the case? What is the best way to add new duplication rules into a sandbox (or production); it seems that since Winter '17 duplication rules are supported but I cannot import just 2 new rules because I get this order issue. Any ideas???

Duplication Rule XML contains the Sort Order which I've tried to manually change in the XML in ANT to be a new number (there are 3 existing Contact rules on my sandbox) but keep getting this error.

    I resolved the issue by importing the 5 duplication rules (3 existing ones + 2 new ones) having the order changed manually in the XML used in ANT.  As far as I can see this issue cannot be solved via change sets (but you need ant if you want to change the order of the duplication rules). I presume change sets will work if the 2 new rules are added at the end (so there is no need to change the order of the existing rules).
