ArcPro 3.0 Merge Bug?

[LaurenMcKinney]

Has anyone noticed that the merge tool in Arc 3.0.2 doesn't work exactly right?

Merge is supposed to combine the attributes of all datasets being merged, but when I tested it today, I noticed that the merge tool only included attributes from one of the datasets. The only way to fix this was to click the "reset" button in the Field Maps section!

Has anyone else experienced this? 

Thanks all!

Do you or does anyone else reading this know how to default the field mapping to reset, so that 'Merge' can be used successfully in ModelBuilder with an iterator? Not all of the data that I want to pair up and then merge shares the same schema. Meaning, the two files that make up "pair 1" share a schema, and the two files that make up "pair 2" share a schema. But Pair 1 & Pair 2 have entirely different schemas. Causes "merge" tool in MB to create messed up output files with nulls across half of the attribute table. 

I would be open to the correct arcpy code too, in order to make a sort of 'custom merge' tool to pull into a MB. 

Pulling at my hairs for days now, appreciate any advice.
