Is there a way to merge property values using dialog ? I was referring to this article https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/property-merge-postprocessor/index.html . I used the example stated in there ..But my dialog box doesnt load correctly.I did check the common version i do see 4.3.2 existing .Is there anything else that we need to make it work?

Hi @aemnewbie,

By the term "dialog box doesn't load correctly", are you referring to the issue with merged destination property in dialog or the dialog itself is not loading.

Could you please share the dialog with respect to the changes done as part of merging properties.
