Combine Entries: add privilege, simplify and speed up
Make Combine Entries a privilege in Access Rights and simplify and speed up by doing a direct move of data, abandoning the existing copy and delete scheme. At the moment Combine Entries has a copy and delete scheme - copy the data then delete the original. but this complicates the process unnecessarily, and under-the-bonnet a direct move of data (i.e. change the ClientId / ContactNumber, etc.) should be a lot simpler and faster. What's the point of copying? To provide a safety net? We already have one! If the Combine Entries was a wrong action then duplicate the combined entry and sort out the entries manually. The simpler process would also avoid some anomalies such as "today" creation dates on "new" records (they are combined, not new) and re-numbered cases.
