Merge columns even if the data types are different.

When merging columns (data joins), even if the column names are the same, they won't be automatically matched if the data types don't match.

When there's a large amount of data, setting each column individually can be time-consuming, so we'd like to see an improvement to the automatic matching function.

    Hello, and thank you for submitting this idea. To ensure I have a good understanding if this idea, could you please clarify which specific feature you are refeering to when you mention "merging columns" and automatic matching? Are you referring to data joins (joining/mergin data tables)? column matches in visualizations?
