Retain Bottom Layer Name on Merged Layers

[Szymon313899735n29]

It would be highly beneficial to have an option for merged layers to automatically adopt the name of the bottom layer instead of the top layer. This small adjustment would save users valuable time by reducing repetitive renaming steps in workflows with complex layer arrangements.

The bottom layer is often the most critical in defining the merged output, especially with adjustment layers or AI-generated layers. Retaining its name for the merged layer would add clarity and efficiency to layer management in complex documents.

Thank you for considering this feature!

Best regards

My experience is if you select two consecutive layers and use Command-E the layers will merge and take the name of the top layer, but that if you select just one layer and use Command-E that layer will be merged into the one below and take the name of the bottom layer. 

Also if I am not mistaken, it's not just the name that is retained but also the history of the layer for the purposes of the history brush.

In the above example using the history brush in the first instance will enable brushing to history of the top layer and in the second example you wil be able to brush to the history of the bottom layer.
