Andre Bossert created an issue 2015-09-01
During working with feature model and lot of feature configurations (ca. 30 configurations) i've to fix it with manually open all configurations and Select "Merge changes automatically" in the dialog "The orioginal feature model was changed."
May be some new Dialog can be added to do this action for all configurations in one folder (and all subfolders).
Also sometimes i want to convert the selections automatically (manually) if one feature was moved to other features (as sub-feature) but the id is still the same. This is lost during next save of the configuration and i've to select it again. Or as workaround i've edit the selection in raw XML file (yafc) manually before saving.

Making the dialog shouldn't be hard. You just need to call FeatureConfigurationUtil.repairConfiguration to automerge changes.
There is a problem when dealing with moved features during merge. Each feature is identified by its unique ID which can be changed by user. Possible solutions:
ID changes are ignored. E.g. when feature (ID=xyz) was selected in old configuration, it is also selected in new configuration unless the ID was changed by user.
Each feature will have unique generated UUID, invisible for user and which cannot be changed.
