Ability to select many users at once and merge them to an account

Feature Requests
1

Describe the problem you would like to solve
merge many users at once

Describe the solution you’d like
I would like to have tick boxes in the dropdown display
Email - Edit User - Enable-Remove-Login as -Merge User
next to Merge User so I can select many of them and then merge all of them into one account instead of having to do them one at time. It’s a restoration of a feature that was available in earlier versions.

Who is asking for this feature?

I know is not exactly what you are looking for, but this could be useful:
https://github.com/marcbria/ojsExtraTools?tab=readme-ov-file#mergeuserlist

My workflow is:

  1. Backup everything.
  2. Extract a CSV/Excel with all users (including roles)
  3. Tag the users I like to keep or delete.
  4. Extract the list of the users I like to merge.
  5. Run the mergeUsersList script with the former list.

Thank you very much for that. I will try to make it work on my installation.
Much Obliged
Cheers
