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]")
    • allow to delete source species after successful merge
