Zotero 7: Abstract and title not part of merge dialog

As per title, the abstract is excluded from the merge dialog in the new interface -- I often have situations where the authors are better in one copy, the abstract in the other one, so it'd be nice to be able to select that.

Edit: This also pertains to the title (also now separately displayed in the item pane), where e.g. it can be nice to select a sentence case version.

    Fixed in beta 78

    Should Abstract be part of the merge dialog now (Zotero 7.0.15, Sequoia 15.4)?
    I can choose the title but see no field for Abstract, even when one entry has one and the other does not. All other fields seem complete and have options icons whenever there are differences.

    Following up on this (and as also reported by someone else in a separate thread)
    Working in the beta, this is indeed fixed for title, which is treated like a regular field for merge purposes, but isn't fixed for abstracts. Would be great to fix for the reason above.
