[craft-5] Support fields/merge

[reilnuud]

What are you trying to do?

Migrating sites, I have a lot of fields to merge now, this feature is realtively new, but we are still holding off on migrating some sites since Hyper fields don't currently support the feature:

• Console command for users to merge field definitions craftcms/cms#14554
• https://craftcms.com/docs/5.x/upgrade.html#cleanup-optional-steps

What's your proposed solution?

Support new field/merge command in Craft 5.

Additional context

I imagine this is already being worked on, but hoping to have an idea of when we might be able to do this as there are several craft 5 features we are hoping to implement soon on some projects.

It's not on my immediate todo list, but I'll look into what is involved!

I got this issue as well, it is a blocker to update Craft 5. The fields/merge script compares fields with their settings and Hyper fields have a huge set of settings for each field with different Uids, so the script can't recognize that the Hyper fields are the same.

Why such a huge and odd structure of settings for each Hyper field?

I have the same problem about trying to migrate to Craft 5
