# How to Merge Polymorphic Attribute Versions

{% hint style="success" %}
This is useful when you have multiple numeric attributes that represent the same data but in different data types (e.g., str, int, and float).
{% endhint %}

### On the Pipeline Designer, select your data source and click on the Transformation/Security tab

### Open the merge polymorphic versions section

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** This operation sets `INCLUDE_IN_SEMANTIC_LAYER` to **TRUE** for the polymorphic version (string or float) that is being merged into, and to **FALSE** for all other polymorphic versions.
{% endhint %}

### Select string in the dropdown to merge numeric attributes into string polymorphic versions
