I am having a problem with duplicate nodes that aren't technically duplicates, because their attributes are different.

For example, my node attributes are Label, DOB, Item Numbers. Node 1 and Node 2 have identical labels, but different Item Numbers. I want to concatenate the item numbers when I merge the nodes, so no information is lost:

Label DOB Item Numbers

Micaela 4/2/85 B, C, F
Micaela 4/2/85 Q, D

Ideal result:

Label DOB Item Numbers

Micaela 4/2/85 B, C, F, Q, D



Is this possible?

Not possible to merge sets at the moment, sorry.

It seems like the "join values with a separator" option does what I need, thank you.

When I do this, though, I notice that not all of the edges are preserved. If I merge three duplicate nodes, ideally, all those edges remain after the merge. Right now, it seems only the edges of one of the duplicates remain after the merge.

Am I missing something here?

Hi,
Actually join with separator will add all values, but if they are repeated in several lists, it will have duplicates.

All edges should be preserved, but if some become duplicated, I think their weights are summed. Can you post an example?

I think I figured it out, thank you! I had my id column labeled as something else, so an id column was created on importing the edges file, messing up the source and target IDs.
