How does one go about merging in Calibre then? Or more precisely, how does one delete the value of the column in one document in calibre so it can be merged. I understand that there will be a drift from Calibre to Zotero, but the question is about when one wants to do it regardless.
(e.g. one has merged two records in Zotero, and now one wants to do the same for two documents in Calibre)
Thanks again

Doing so would corrupt the #zotero_xxxxx custom columns. Never have, cannot, and never will be able to edit those special custom columns. What a nightmare that would cause. Not going to happen.
Safe Alternative: Simply delete the 2 Calibre ebooks originally from Zotero, and then re-export the 2 Zotero items to a new Zotero Export .csv file. Import that new file using ZMI. Now, you have the item in Calibre that corresponds exactly to the merged Zotero item.
