Union configure manually

Problem: When you configure fields manually in the union control and then go back to remove a field it throws up an error that "XYZ field missing"
Solution: One needs to change the config to "arrange fields by name" then refresh before you can arrange fields manually

I would like this problem to be handled by some method that tracks for changes and warns the user rather than throw an error.

Hi Victor,

I am unable to reproduce this behavior.  It seems that maybe we changed how the missing fields were handled within the Union tool, but I can't find anything specific.  Try it out in the latest version and see if it works the way you would prefer.

Thanks,

Ben
