Hello everyone,

Is it possible to create a custom Merge button for a custom table similar to the out-of-the-box (OOTB) merge functionality available for the Accounts table?

The expected behavior would be similar to the standard merge feature:

When two records are selected, their relevant columns should be displayed.
The user should be able to choose the preferred values from either record.
One record should be set as the primary record.
The other record should become non-primary, its statuscode should be set to Inactive, and it should not be used going forward.

Additionally, in all related tables where the non-primary record is referenced, the lookup value should be replaced with the primary record.

For reference, this is the OOTB merge feature available for three standard tables:

From my research, the backend functionality of replacing lookup values in related tables seems possible using a C# plugin. However, I would like to know if it is possible to fully replicate the OOTB merge functionality for a custom table, including the UI behavior.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
