Hi,

I've been looking for this issue, but i have found nothing about it.

I have a problem when I'm merging two records when there're some difference in the metadata info. If I merge two fields which are date or number, if the destination field has a value, it keeps untouched. If I merge two fields which are defined as text with restricted values, however, if the destination field has a value, and the origin field is empty, the value in the destination filed is removed.

I don't know if it's normal, I'm doing something wrong. Any help will be welcome. BTW, it's not related to calibre 2.X, it worked in the same way before.

I have Win7 and I am running calibre 32bits (calibre 64 works the same too, I've tested it).

Thanks in advance.
