Choose what types of records to Merge when merging Companies

@HollySimmons completely true from the admin perspective, also this will save sometime from your end. 

Mainly we need more votes and technical possibilities to do.

Hi @HollySimmons, Thanks for sharing your thoughts here. Can you help us understand the use-case better ?
Why would we want to ignore persons(Timeline entries, CTAs, Success Plans etc) on one company, would they not be important post company merge ?

With persons specifically it can often lead to duplication, as they already exist on both company records. 

With timeline it could just be that we don’t want to transfer them, and once you create a timeline entry you can’t delete it (only the original author) - which also needs fixing btw ;) 

The alternative is to let us re-parent records such as Timeline, SP, CTAs etc via rules engine, which is often why I need to merge accounts (to move the records to the correct one). 

Thanks for sharing more details @HollySimmons. Persons use case seems very common. We will add `Giving admins more flexibility in company merge` to our roadmap.
Will also check if we can provide the reparenting capability via rules.

@everyone Please upvote this idea if you share the same problem.
