### ARB_MERGE/Transfer Species/Transfer Field ...
## DESCRIPTION
### Copies just one field from all species listed in the source database (DB) on the left side, to the corresponding species (i.e. the species with same ID aka 'name'-entry) in the target DB on the right side. ### If no such corresponding species exists, it will be created. ### This function has two modes: Copy mode: Overwrite existing fields in target species. Append mode: Appends to existing fields of target species. To activate the 'Append mode' check 'Append data ???' in the 'TRANSFER FIELD' window.
## NOTES
### Transferring fields that are not of string type in append mode does not work
## BUGS
### No bugs known
