Merge layers of same name when dragging in layers tab

Hi, I’d love to see an option (popup dialogue box?) to merge layers of the same name, when you drag a layer into a group of layers in which one of the same name already exists.

For example:
Layer
[Group 01]
Alpha
Beta
[Group 02]
Alpha

Dragging [Group 2] Alpha into Group 1 isn’t possibe. Rather than denying it, a popup saying something like “A layer of that name already exists. Merge layers?”

It’s not much of a bother, I know. But when you have a few hundred layers and sublayers, it’s a bit of a pain to get denied then have to Select objects > Change object layer > Dig through the hundred of layers to try and find the right group again, etc.

Thanks for taking the time,
Evan

Terminology question: By “group” do you mean a layer with sub-layers?

Yes, sorry for not being very clear there

Hi Evan, got that, thanks.
