Fields not kept in-sync for merged ideas

What is the challenge?

When I merge 2 ideas, one idea may have a custom field populated (i.e. Escalated). When the original idea is merged with the new idea, that field is not populated on the new idea.

What is the impact?

I like merging ideas because it helps keep our ideas portal clean, but I'm losing valuable data on ideas. Therefore, I have to build reports to find all original ideas that were escalated, then find the idea that it was merged into and then update that field on the new idea.

Describe your idea

When I merge two ideas, let me choose which fields get synced to the new idea or automatically update the new idea with the original idea's values.

    Another issue that we're running into is that we have a custom field on an idea proxy vote. When the original idea is merged into the new idea, we're unable to view the proxy-votes from the original idea and it's custom fields. This makes it challenging when reporting.
