Functional Details

If srcfield is a field: the module puts the specified replacement component (srcname) from srcfield into dstfield and gives it a new component name (dstname).
If srcfield is a value list: the module inserts srcfield into dstfield as the dstname component (srcname is ignored).
If dstfield is a group: the hierarchy of srcfield must match exactly.

Components

All components of dstfield are propagated to the output. The srcname component of srcfield replaces or is added as the dstname component in the output.
