Description

When merging profiles unomi does not look for profile properties that are nested.

   "properties": {
        "nbOfVisits": 1,
        "lastVisit": "2017-10-25T20:04:49Z",
        "group": {
            "user_ids": {
                "site_1": "123_user_id"
            }
        },
        "firstVisit": "2017-10-25T20:04:49Z",
    }

When this profile gets merged, unomi looks for the properties on line 458 in ProfileServiceImpl.

allProfileProperties.addAll(profile.getProperties().keySet());

The keySet() will only include "group", not the values nested inside. So we cannot define a mergeRule for the values inside.

How can we merge two profiles with different user_id values?

Current work around is to use

 group_user-id_site-1 : "123_user_id" 

instead of the nested property.

Any thoughts or is this a new use case?

Thanks,
