Description
There are 2 modules attempting to do that job:
- join species (old)
- merge similar species ("new")
Goals:
- remove old module
- improve new module:
- allow to define what shall happen if (2 or more) merged species have different content in one field.
- possible actions (for all fields):
- abort with error
- use "first" (aka randomly choose one species as source)
- remove these fields
- move contents into a new string field (e.g. "nuc" (GB_INT) → "nuc_merged" (GB_STRING)) and then apply merging as done for GB_STRING fields
- possibilities for GB_STRING
- concatenate fields (either separate by some character, e.g. '#' or use "[TAGS]")
- possible actions (for all fields):
- allow to delete source species after successful merge
- allow to define what shall happen if (2 or more) merged species have different content in one field.
