Apologies if this is already covered somewhere but I couldn't find it...
Is it possible, other than manually, to merge multiple facts of the same type?
As a specific example, I've generally created a new fact each time I've recorded evidence of date of birth. I'd now like to 'condense' those so that if I have a full day, month, year, date, then that one is used as the fact with other consistent but less detailed dates (e.g. from a census) just recorded as additional sources with their data in the source text.
Thanks.

Other than copying the sources to the main one and then deleting the others it's not possible in V4, with the advent of plugins in V5 it's highly probable you could write a script to help do this.
