## OCCURRENCE

### ARB_MERGE/Transfer Species/Transfer Field ...

## DESCRIPTION

### Copies just one field from all species listed in the source database (DB) on the left side, to the corresponding species (i.e. the species with same ID aka 'name'-entry) in the target DB on the right side.

### If no such corresponding species exists, it will be created.

### This function has two modes:

1. Copy mode: Overwrite existing fields in target species.
2. Append mode: Appends to existing fields of target species. To activate the 'Append mode' check 'Append data ???' in the 'TRANSFER FIELD' window.

## NOTES

### Transferring fields that are not of string type in append mode does not work

## BUGS

### No bugs known
