Tracking merge proposals and/or trusted list requests

I have attempted to review all the relevant questions and answers and FAQs but cannot find a WikiTree answer.

Should I assume that there is no WikiTree way for one to note and keep track of merge and/or trusted list requests sent to other Profile Managers?

Real life and advanced age prevent me from keeping track of these on my own for purposes of follow-up.

Might we expect some help in this regard?

Thanks

Jim,

For those where I am proposing a merge, I find that if I add a message on the profile - "I have sent a request to be on the trusted list" for example is one way.  At  least when looking at  Merges Proposed by me I can see the message.

Of course the message should be deleted when action has been taken.
Thanks Philip.
One other option is that if you request to be added to the trusted list also send a Private Message.  You will automatically receive a copy of that message via email.  You could then create a sub mail folder for TRUSTED REQUESTS and move those to that folder....then you would have a record of the request.

I have started using my scratch pad on my Nav page to keep track of TL requests, and unresponsive manager requests.   This allows me to easier understand that I have sent several TL requests to the same person or that I have asked for unresponsive manager requests of the same person.   So, then when I write a private message to the person, or post on their profile, I can be very specific in what I need from them.   I have found that to be more effective than the general statements we usually make.

There is no way of tracking trusted list requests at this time.

However, merge proposals are another story. Under the Find menu, click on Pending Merges. Then you can limit that to My Watchlist, or to Merges Proposed by Me.

Very nice.  Thank you.
It would be a nice addition if one could see their trusted list requests.
