improve merging DBs with mismatching field types

[epruesse]

(Report from )

While merging my database I encounter the Key ‘version’ exists, but has different type problem. Only with several fields.

1- I didn't find the answer easily in the FAQ even using the search option. Maybe you could rename this section with something like 'Field key type problem while merging'. I found my answer when after struggling I decided to write a ticket and found an old one answering it.

2- I had to try to merge, get an error message telling me which field was not the right type. then reoppen in advanced mode both source and target databases. Convert that field. Then, go back to the merge and start all other again until all problematic fields where converted. A thought, it would be more convenient that 1- one can convert field in the merge windows. 2- Arb error message directly list all the problematics field to avoid this back and forth between merge and database.
