# 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

### Select float in the dropdown to merge numeric attributes into the float polymorphic version

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.datapancake.com/guides/how-to-guides-ui/pipeline-designer/how-to-merge-polymorphic-attribute-versions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
