Can BAAAM specify Profile Merge Rule for segments?

I'm using BAAAM to create segments. However, I see no option to specify the Profile Merge Rule. Is there no way for PMR to be specified? If there is no way, is there another alternate way to change multiple segments' profile merge rule in bulk? I would change multiple segments to one specific PMR not multiple segments to different PMR.

Also a minor annoyance, same question about the segment and trait description, is there no way in BAAAM to enter descriptions? This is not critical, more of a house-keeping item, I try to add descriptions for traits and segments.

    yes you can update PMR and descriptions for trait and segments even though the 'update' template provided in baaam doesn't have a column header for these. if you request traits / request segments using baaam, you will find the column headers to use.

     

    pmr are represented by numeric values so you then have to go look at some segments in the UI to understand which values correlate with which merge rules (there are only 3 or 4 of them though so its not too much work)

      You may see while updating all active and existing segments.

      @rich_seabrook I requested segments and was able to figure out more headers. Profile Merge Rule header is mergeRuleDataSourceId. Was able to add descriptions also. This was tested and works. Thanks!
