Summary	0004793: Merge with Replace function
Description	Merging is only possible if the pre-existing structure is absent or comparable. If the structure of OTFTs, Roles and Expressions are incompatible, the OTFT is blocked from being merged. Providing a *Replace* option would be very helpful in those situations.
Tags	No tags attached.

Marco Wobben 2024-10-02 15:41 administrator ~0005383	It is implemented as follows: - if the OT is to be imported and clashes with pre-existing structures, it is imported as TEMP and then an Object Type Replace is performed - all other element types are simply deleted, so a fresh merge can be executed for it. Please provide feedback on this new feature. Note: Population damage is very likely to occur.
