Currently if a salesperson creates a new idea request from SFDC and one of our Product Managers merges that idea into an existing idea, the request created by Salesforce is not merged into the receiving idea. This is problematic for us as we use that MRR associated with the request to help prioritize.
Merging an idea with Salesforce proxy votes will copy the proxy votes to the parent idea, along with the Salesforce integration links. It will also add the parent idea to the record inside Salesforce.
