    Fix merge action

    Currently if you merge two entities, linked custom entities are not correctly updated. This is because which entities are merged is statically configured in a property of the entity $mergeLinkList.

    It would be great if you could just query the ORM for all possible links and merge them, I don't see why the user would want any entities to be unlinked.

    This should be the default process, mistakes happen and duplicates occur, so merging is a necessity.

    Also - some users will presume that linked entities will be retained after a merging process. Losing these links is not much fun.

      ok, I will look.
      If you find EspoCRM good, we would greatly appreciate if you could give the project a star on GitHub. We believe our work truly deserves more recognition. Thanks.

        I may add here: When merging I can only use either / or but I have no chance to edit the target field. Let's say there is important information in both records and I would like to keep the 'better' one - I still would like to carry some of the information of the 'worse' one over.

          Absolutely - that would be a great addition - to allow the user to drag & drop email addresses / telephone numbers, merge fields etc.
