When using the Dissolve or Pairwise Dissolve GP tool, currently you have the option of choosing "Concatenate" as the Statistic Type for Statistic Fields.
IDEA: Add a "Concatenate Distinct" option so that when data is concatenated, you don't get repeating values.
Example:
A layer contains 8 rows with a text field with values from the following list: A, B, C, D (some values appearing more than once).
When Dissolving using that field as a Statistics field, the current "Concatenate" option returns "A, A, B, C, C, C, D, D" from the 8 rows into 1 dissolved row.
The proposed "Concatenate Distinct" option would only return "A, B, C, D" from the 8 rows.
