I'm hoping the Merge objects will also include merging blocks. I continue to be unclear what value grouping blocks provides. For example, if I select a group of blocks, I do not have the option to apply a tag - either to the group or even to the individual blocks in one operation.

also, when we delete an objects property it should give an option to transfer the content to another property

Yes, merging is important. For tags it should be easy, as tags are just 'appendages' and a cross-cutting view at some information set.

For the pages and other objects, either an explicit function (select many and merge; prompt for a new name or select from the existing ones) or a simple rename to an already existing name should do the job. For example, logseq would prompt you asking to merge the notes if you try to rename it and another note with the same name already exists. That's good approach.

It would also be really nice to merge two objects. It's easy to accidentally create a new Person - and I sometimes want to merge two records together.

Secon that: I don't know why, but I have multiple tags despite being the same (aka: #news and #news as different tags in the tag list) and have no idea how this happens (...and, yes, I checked for blanks at the start and end.... but there weren't any). It would be VERY helpful if there was an easy way to merge these "same" tags.

You can measure the usefullness by looking at the download figures for the "tag handler" plugin for Obsidian ;-)

I have the same, very annoying issue

I just noticed, this belongs in here, to…

I would also like to add that merging AI Assistant objects would be immensely useful. Oftentimes I start an AI conversation and realize that I already have a past conversation that is very similar.
