More than one study with name

Running these lines:

library(movebank)

# login <- movebankLogin(...)

getMovebankStudy('22', login)

I get the error:

Error in getMovebankID(study, login) : 
  There was more than one study with the name: 22
Calls: getMovebankStudy -> getMovebankStudy -> getMovebankID -> getMovebankID

Looking at all the studies, I see this occurs many times in movebank:

library(data.table)

# Get all the studies
studies <- getMovebankStudies(login)

data.table(study = studies)[, .N, by = study][N > 1]
                                                  study     N

Let me know if I should post this alternatively in a different repository, potentially https://github.com/movebank/data-repository

Thank you.
