Merging items - Creators and empty fields
I experience some problems when trying to merge items with the correct data contained partially in the different items to merge.
1) If the items to merge have different authors, I cannot see that from the merging pane: it simply shows the authors of the currently selected item, as if the authors were consistent between the items to merge.
Would it be possible to be able to select the complete set of authors from one item or the other?
2) If Item 1 has an empty field that is filled incorrectly in Item 2, I can use the data in Item 2 to fill it in Item 1, but I cannot use the correct empty data in Item 1 to fill in Item 2.
