23579	Counterproductive combine ways dialogue. Missing tags should not be considered a conflict.	InsertUser	team	"If a user attempts to merge two features, such as a POI or address mapped as a node with a newly created building outline (via CTRL+SHIFT+G) they now have to manually select every single value for every single tag whether or not they actually contain conflicting values in the two entities to be merged. 

As an example: 
A newly drawn building:

{{{
Way: -606
  Tags: 
    ""building""=""yes""
}}}


To be merged with a previously created POI:


{{{
Node: <some positive number>
  Tags: 
    ""addr:housenumber""=""1""
    ""addr:street""=""Fakestreet""
    ""addr:city""=""Exampletown""
    ""website""=""https://www.example.com""
    ""phone""=""+1 555 555 5505""
    ""shop""=""alcohol""
    ""name""=""An Exemplary Grocery Store""
    ""wheelchair""=""yes""
}}}

After the keyboard shortcut to replace geometry:

1. The user has to click on the dropdown menu for ""addr:city""
2. The user has to click on ""Exampletown""
3. The user has to click on the dropdown menu for ""addr:housenumber""
4. The user has to click on ""1""
5. The user has to click on the dropdown menu for ""addr:street""
6. The user has to click on ""Fakestreet""
7. The user has to click on the dropdown menu for ""building""
8. The user has to click on ""yes""
9. The user has to click on the dropdown menu for ""phone""
10. The user has to click on ""+1 555 555 5505""
11. The user has to click on the dropdown menu for ""shop""
12. The user has to click on ""alcohol""
13. The user has to click on the dropdown menu for ""name""
14. The user has to click on ""An Exemplary Grocery Store""
15. The user has to click on the dropdown menu for ""wheelchair""
16. The user has to click on ""yes""


This is incredibly tedious. There is no option to automatically select the non-""'''none'''"" option if there is no actual conflict, and neither of the tickboxes at the top do anything useful in this scenario. 

I think this is encouraging users to not [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Keep_the_history keep the history] and not be aware of any conflicts as it is now easier to copy the POI to clipboard, completely delete it and CTRL+SHIFT+V the old tags onto the new way. This methos does ''not'' bring up a dialogue if one of the tags you are pasting overrides an existing tag, which would mean that the conflict dialogue is actively working against its intended purpose.

Please add a tickbox to default to using the only value present for a tag if the only other option is to delete that data.
