Consolidation of extended configurations
Description
With this feature activated, you have the possibility to consolidate multiple given customizations of the same type to one customization containing the settings of the customizations.
An exemplary use case for this feature is the usage of two identical custom dropdown values in two different dropdown attributes. You can now select one of the custom values as a 'master' attribute with the other custom value as a 'slave'. Consolidating these two values will result in the master overtaking the attribute types of the slave while the latter is deleted.
As a result, the master attribute will now be available on all attribute types the slave was available on.
Like already mentioned, please note that you can consolidate multiple slave values into one master value as well.
