 == Description
 
 The Stream Schema Merge transform merges multiple inputs with different structures and creates a combination of fields.
 
+TIP: If the streams to merge contain fields with the same name but different types, these fields with be combined into a single field of type `String`. +
+If you want to make sure fields keep their original data type, make sure to convert them to identical types. e.g. through the `Metadata` tab in the xref:/pipeline/transforms/selectvalues.adoc[Select Values] transform.
