When multiple templates are selected for Merge and Send, the following criteria should match for the templates to merge properly.

1. Both templates should have matching signing orders and signer roles for the recipients; otherwise, all the recipients across the templates will be combined and added as individual recipients.

2. The merging process may encounter issues and produce errors if any of the templates include multiple recipients without a straightforward signing order.

3. If the recipient_name field has different values across the templates being merged, none of the values will be applied automatically. The same applies to other fields such as verification_type, language, etc.
