[5.0 Beta] Merge duplicates is not merging correctly (Update: user error)

I tried merging duplicate journal articles, keeping the older entry as master. When I merge, the newer entry is deleted (as it should) but it's contents are not merged in to the older(master) entry for fields that are missing in the older entry.

5.0-beta.182+d472752 on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit

    That's never how this has worked.
    You need to select each field that's different from the master article used for merge by clicking on the icon on the right.

    Oops, yes, I forgot about that completely since the prevent duplicates plug-in has spoilt me. Tested and working as expected. Thanks for the reminder.
