Applicant Merge
Orgnaization Merge is the best feature you have introduced yet. How about applicant merge? Seems like it would work on the same principals.
Thanks

I often end up with duplicate users when I merge duplicate organizations. Additionally, many new users register multiple times - either inside their same organization as primary and again as applicant OR by creating multiple organizations.
New users often forget that they've already registered and the error message they get when they enter their email address doesn't clarify the situation (I set up a separate suggestion for changing this message.)

This would be extremely helpful to add. I have so many duplicate users from different people in the organization applying and entering the same organization contact info. For some organizations I have the same person listed as an inactive user up to 10 times. If I could merge them into one this would be a huge help.

Hi Laura and Mary,
I'm assuming this would apply to 2 applicants in the same organization, correct? While in principal it's similar, there are more relationships from a particular user to other pieces of data in the system, so it's not a trivial change.
Given other priorities, this isn't on our near-term roadmap, but as we get some more feedback on the organization merge feature, as well as hear others weigh in on this idea, we can re-evaluate it at some point.
Thanks for the suggestion

Having done a quite a few organization merges and, as a result, deactivated a large of duplicate users, I absolutely agree.
