I'm sure he is requesting what people have been requesting on and off ever since the original FamilyTree merge routine was put into production:
That is, the ability to move over just the date or just the place rather than being required to take both as a single unit.

@Gordon Collett What do you think should happen here?
Do you think we should be able to pick date and place separately?
Should people be able to pick values based on the sources?

I think that during a merge is the worst time to do any editing and that since dates and places always are edited as a block, they should not be separated during a merge. I'm fine with the way things are now and the need to go to a profile after a merge to make any necessary further improvements.

Looking at the example of Herman Reinecke, what we need to end up with in the Birth section is a Date of 'May 1840' and a place of 'Holzminden, Brunswick, Germany' which is a standardised place. The merge facility does not allow this to happen and as had been said you have to go back into the merged record to amend this. You would also have had to make a note of the change you want to make to the merged record as the May 1840 date no longer appears on the merged record. Far better to correct things in one place as you find them.
