Description

Is there a way to make it so setProperty can merge, rather than replace?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the setProperty function in the source code. Understand the current behavior of replacing the value. Implement an optional parameter (e.g., 'merge') that performs a shallow merge for objects. Add tests and update documentation.
