Hi Jukka,
Thank you for your answer, I was almost sure that Beanshell Attribute Calculator can handle it with some awkward syntax. Do we already have documentation about Attribute Calculator or could you create for example an empty page into wiki as a bookmark?
I added some information in the wiki :
http://ojwiki.soldin.de/index.php?title=Beanshell_Attribute_Calculator
It's difficult to imagine every area where a calculated attribute may help, but let's improve the example part as it comes

The road example is like reverse engineering the resultu of dynamic segmentation which has materialized by splitting the segments physically and thus is might be of some general interest. OpenStreetMap road data fits also this definition. By dropping unnecessary tags the number of linestrings could be decreased by intelligent merging.
I see. A solution would be to replace current options "Use an attribute", "Attribute" by a list of actual attributes with a checkbox for each one.
In this case, maybe we should split the tool again to have
- union/merge (a selection or a layer), keeping only the merge option (+ option to split non adjacent linestrings ?) - dissolve/merge (a layer) : same options + list of all attributes (with checkboxes) + aggregate unused attributes

Hi Jukka,

As you guessed, I generally solve this kind of problem with a calculated attribute.
There are a few things to know for that.
For numeric attributes, you can do as you suggested : 100*A + B
For string attributes, use + to concatenate attributes and don't omit to add a separator : A + ";" + B If your expression starts with "", + will concatenate fields, even numerics : "" + 1 + 2 -> 12
So the following expression should work in almost all cases
"" + A + ";" + B
(did not check for dates)

Accepting several attributes in the union/dissolve user interface would be nice, but it needs some more work (especially if we want to be able to add/remove fields
from the dialog in order to manage any number of attributes).
Please, add a Feature Request for that.

So it sounds like adjacency will be important too? In other words...we don't want to merge features that aren't adjacent or topologically connected?

    Interesting use case Jukka. Let me think about how this might work
    as a plug-in.

        Hi Landon,

        My case last week was about parcel IDs and landuse codes and
        aim was to union areas so that polygons with same landuse and
        belonging to same owner would make one polygon.

        For another use see attached images and source data in Jump
        JML format.  Data could present two highways with ref. IDs
        "100" and "200". Both highways have sections with speed limits
        "60" and "80". Aim is to merge segment of highway "100" with
        speed limit "80" together etc.

        Image one: Original segmented data
        Image two: Desired end result. Notice an extra: Highway "100"
        has speed limit "60" in two distinct places. I do not want
        them to be combined into multilinestring. OJ can handle this
        case with two subsequent operations: Merge selected features +
        Explode selected features.

        Jukka:

        Can you give me some more details on the actual union you are
        trying to accomplish? What do you integer attributes represent?

        Thanks.

            Hi,

            I would like to union features by two or perhaps more
            attributes. I wonder if the current Union/Dissolve/Merge
            tool could be developed to support the use of combined
            classes. In my use case I have two integer attributes
            which define the classes and it is a bit tricky to
            calculate a new concatenated field from those. Perhaps it
            is possible to do with the Beanshell Attribute Calculator
            but it is not obvious for me how. An example: I have two
            integer attributes and I would like to concatenate their
            values to one field which I would like to use for merging
            later. If the attribute values are A=80 and B=20, how
            could I conbine them into "80-20" or something like that?
            Well, in this case I could do (100xA)+B=8020 but what to
            do if I had also strings to concatenate as A=80 and
            B=true? I can do the task fine with Spatialite but it
            would be a bit more fluent to do everything with OpenJUMP.
