[Qgis-user] Combing Vector Layers - With Attributes

[Bo Victor Thomsen]

You can use processing algorithm "refactor fields" on the layer(s) that 
have fields to be changed. This operation will give you a temporary 
file/layer the same number of columns and -names as the original layer, 
but with column type(s) redefined by you.

Afterwards you can merge the temporary file/layer with the other layers

Just be sure to have the latest (functioning) version of QGIS installed: 
3.16.3. From the error message you included, I suspect you have an older 
version of QGIS installed. I tried to merge 2 layers using QGIS 3.16.3 
and the result was a new layer that contained the merged layers. If 
there was a data discrepancy the result values were null's (but no 
run-time errors)

Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards
