Notes:
  • To add the custom module, go to Action Chains > Manage Module > add
  • This is a destructive action after which you will not be able to restore your merged records, make sure you backup you library before you proceed. You are ultimately responsible for any damage that might happen.
This sounds pretty close to what I want, so thank you for that. I've been meaning to learn action chains.

Can it be smart enough to also require that the titles match? Within a group I don't always have the titles match and would like to be able to pick which ones I want.

(Yes, I realize I might be more or less unique in my need here...)
