Merge-conflict source-of-truth flag after a manual merge

Outcome. Every contact that survives a manual merge gets flagged for a quick post-merge check, catching the case where the wrong record's values won the conflict before a rep acts on stale or incorrect information.

When to use it, when not to

  • UseUse it on portals where merges happen often enough, and by enough different people, that nobody has a consistent rule for which record's values should win a field-level conflict during a merge.
  • UseUse it as a lightweight nudge to double check the surviving record's key fields, not as an automated fix. The merge already happened by the time this fires; this only asks a human to confirm the outcome.
  • SkipDo not use it if merges in your portal are rare, or a single trained data owner performs every merge personally and already double checks by habit. The extra task volume is not worth it for occasional, careful manual work.
  • SkipDo not use it expecting it to catch which specific fields were overwritten incorrectly. It flags that a merge happened, not a field-by-field diff of before and after.
