Hi Joachim, I think I understand what you want to do now. Creating one configuration to control more than one species is done through partitioning. You don't merge the datasets.
As Syed pointed out earlier on, you start with one species by run Naïve and Export the naïve configure to the database, and then "Alt-N" to bring in the other species. When prompted with the question "Create new template rather than use existing one?", ask "No". After this, a template configure will be created. When you expend the "PartitionTable: Datasets" node in the left tree panel, you should be able to see two "Partition", one for each species. Don't forget to do "Export" again. From now on, you should be able to make changes to the configuration, and the changes will be propagate to the two species. Follow the same process to add more species as you need. Hope this is helpful.
