This is NOT possible directly. You can follow this approach to hack around this limitation.


1. You will have to manually copy the information from the duplicate opportunity to the surviving opportunity then delete the duplicate.
2. Use App-Exchange apps as Dupe Blocker / Dupe Catcher / Dupe Eliminator / CRM Fusion tools, etc.
3. If you are / have developer in team, you can program APEX trigger with delete and update events. Order of Execution can be :
  • The before delete trigger fires.
  • The system deletes the necessary records due to the merge, assigns new parent records to the child records, and sets the MasterRecordId field on the deleted records. 
  • The after delete trigger fires.
  • The system does the specific updates required for the master record. Normal update triggers apply.
