      Description

      When merging contacts, and adding a new address, it is not possible to specify which one should be primary.

      So currently.

      Duplicate (record to delete)
      Work address (PRIMARY)

      Master (record to keep)
      Home address (PRIMARY)

      [Choose to 'migrate' the work address to the master record when merging]

      Result
      Home address (PRIMARY)
      Work address

      ie: The 'primary' address on the master record stays primary.

      This is reasonable default behaviour, however you may wish to specify a different address to be primary.

      Proposed solution:

      Add checkboxes to the 'manual' merge screen which allows you to 'Set as primary' any of the addresses, phone numbers or email addresses that are being 'migrated'.
