Dict to Dict

Hi All!
Dict is very powerful but documentation is pretty poor...
So... here's my problem:
I have one "Main" dict, and another "New-Entries" dict.
I built my patch so that I can play around with "New-Entries" dict, and when I'm satisfied I just copy those new entries into "Main".
I attach a simplified patch.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks!

Hi there PERSONAL_USERNAME,

I'm happy to say that dict help patch has been updated for a future Max point release. In the meantime, I can share a patch that shows dict's "copy" functionality. What you are trying to do is certainly possible! This is just one solution:

Thanks a lot Alex, and sorry for my late reply, I have been off Max for a while these days.
And SO happy to have a better dict help in future releases: +1! ;-)
