XF 2.3 Merging threads removes custom field data

[Spectral-Brain]

I created a bug report for when merging threads, the custom fields on the thread OP get removed and are no longer shown. Is there a work around to have the merged threads show the custom field information once merged and not just on the first thread post?

Thread 'Merging threads removes custom fields'

Jul 10, 2025

Lets say I have a bug report forum and if there are 2 bugs that are the same, we merge the threads together. We want to keep the custom fields because they contain information we need, but when merging a thread, the custom fields of the thread post being merged into the other thread, no longer show and are lost.

The fields should follow the post and show instead of being removed when merging threads.
